It's a big bonus for the magnificent Indian cricket team for their amazing performance and historic win against Australia.

Ganguly said the "value of this win is beyond any number." He added, "We are extremely proud of the series win. Beating Australia in Australia by a young team will remain etched in the history of Indian cricket forever. It cannot get better than this. I am so proud of everyone. Congratulations to Ajinkya Rahane and Ravi Shastri and the rest of the touring party for this remarkable feat".
BCCI Secretary Jay Shah echoed the sentiment in his statement. "Heartiest congratulations to every member of the Indian cricket team. The team overcame the odds, injuries and a tough opposition and showed great character, resolve and courage to win the historic Test series in Australia for the second time in a row.
