Shastri was Team India’s coach in the series, which the team won on the back of some exceptional performances from inexperienced players like Rishabh Pant, Shardul Thakur, and Washington Sundar.

Ravi Shastri took to his official Twitter handle to share a mini video of the iconic series-winning moment. A nostalgic Shastri wrote:

“It has to be Gabba” - Aakash Chopra on Team India’s best moment of 2021

Former Indian opener Aakash Chopra recently opined that India’s Test win at the Gabba in Brisbane was the team’s best moment of 2021. Several key players, including Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja, were not available at various junctures during the series.

Chopra said the youngsters stepped in for the side in the absence of seniors and did a phenomenal job when no one gave them much of a chance. In a video on his YoutTube channel, Chopra said:

Terming the win as sensational, Chopra went on to summarize the events of the game and said:

India’s 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar series win over Australia in their backyard has a special place in the country’s cricket folklore. It also gave the whole cricketing world a glimpse of the bench strength of Team India and the mental fortitude of their young players.
