India's hard-fought Border-Gavaskar Test series win over Australia at The Gabba triggered a host of social media reactions from the cricket fraternity.
From being 36 all out in the series opener and 1-0 down, and facing the remainder of the series without regular skipper and talisman Virat Kohli, to losing some of their top players to injury, India came a long way as they conquered The Gabba fortress and won the four-match series with a sensational performance.
First up, India's stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane, and his men took to social media to celebrate one of the nation's greatest ever Test wins.
