On January 7, 2019, the Indian cricket team under Virat Kohli made history by scripting their first-ever Test series win in Australia. Team India won the first and third Test of that series to take a 2-1 lead before a draw at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) handed the visitors the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. As fans celebrate the first anniversary of India’s famous win ‘Down Under’, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) took to Twitter to commemorate the historic occasion.
