Indeed!

"I've never been more proud to be part of the team than this one right here" - huge thumbs up from Virat Kohli for this team.

He's been part of a World Cup winning team, so that puts this #AUSvIND series win in perspective.

Yesterday Indian football, today Indian cricket. What a time to be an Indian sports fan, when we can see our teams and athletes breaking glass ceilings on a regular basis. What a start to the year.#AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/g3nLSCWAy8

Put things into perspective!

To understand the magnificence of this Test series victory, one needs to go back and see what the teams have achieved in the overseas conditions earlier. This team has well and truly arrived. Well set for bigger and grander things if being managed well. #INDvsAUS #SydneyTest

Memories of SCG will always linger

Sydney has always been a special venue for India. They may not have won a lot there, but history will see it as a venue of so many special memories for more reasons than one. #AUSvIND #AUSvsIND #INDvAUS #INDvsAUS #Virat #ViratKohli

Never thought that I will live long enough to see India beat Australia in Australia in a Test series. A band of hungry boys full of self-belief under a champion player does the improbable.This is indeed a red letter day!!Cheers!#INDvsAUS

Started at @scg as the 7th ranking side.... and now defeated AUS to retain No1 side that too with a series victory. It seems @imVkohli started this year with a bang! #INDvsAUS

Finally the revolution that started at eden gardens in 2001 has completed at scg today in 2019. Well done @BCCI @imVkohli . #INDvsAUS

This team is not going anywhere soon!

25,973 days have passed.

That’s 71 years, 1 month & 10 days.

Finally, for the first time ever, an Asian side has won a Test series in Australia. #AUSvIND #INDvAUS
