Twitter reacts as India win against Australia and reclaim Border-Gavaskar trophy
Twitter had an absolute field day as a Virat Kohli-less India ended their long home season by reclaiming the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in the final Test match in Dharamsala. Chasing 87 runs on Day 4, India dropped two wickets but eventually ended up winning the game comfortably by eight wickets
KL Rahul led the charge as India made light work of a paltry target of 106 to help India win the final Test with five sessions to spare and clinch the series 2-1 as cricket finally took center stage in a high-profile series that was marred by controversies both on and off the field.
Brief scores: Australia 300/10 (Steve Smith 111, Matthew Wade 57; Kuldeep Yadav 4/68) and 137/10 (Glenn Maxwell 45, Matthew Wade 25*; Jadeja 3/24, Ashwin 3/29) lost to India 332 /10 (Rahul 60, Jadeja 63; Nathan Lyon 5/92) India 106/2 (KL Rahul 51*, Ajinkya Rahane 38*)
Lunch is served! :P

Lost 3 Tosses
Controversies
Sledging
Off field mind games
Kohli injured
Won the series: 2-1
Fightback Level: Indian Team
Coming back from a loss in the 1st Test and winning it in style! No.1 team for a reason!
Forget the jibes, barbs, DRS, Brain-fade, pitch-talk.... In the end, the better team won.#IndvAus

Hence proven, not a one man team!
We won without Kohli contributing anything as a batsman or as a captain, Thank you Virat Kohli, please retire.

13 Tests, 10 wins and just one loss - this is a special bunch of players #INDvAUS
Another feather in the hat for K.L.Rahul!
Rahul is the first batsman since Graham Gooch in 1993 to make 6 50+ scores in a Test series vs Australia. #IndvAus
