On This Day in 2021: India Registered Historic Victory Over Australia at Gabba To Clinch Test Series 2–1, Relive Epic Winning Moment (Watch Video)
In a chase of 328 runs, Shubman Gill, opening the batting, top-scored with 91 while Rishabh Pant hit the winning runs, scoring an impressive unbeaten 89 in the process. With the win, India won the series, despite losing the first Test where they had been bowled out for just 36 runs.
India clinched an amazing win over Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane to seal a historic 2-1 Test series win on this day, a year ago. The victory was special, especially because the team was a depleted one, with the then captain Virat Kohli being one of the absentees. Rishabh Pant had hit Josh Hazlewood for a four on the off-side to bring up the famous victory which would remain one of Indian cricket's finest wins in overseas conditions.

Relive the Winning Moment Once Again:
This day last year. For the first time since 1988, Australia were beaten at the Gabba and in the process lost the series. Aussies at full strength vs a depleted Indian team. India achieved the near impossible.
