Tagging Australia skipper Tim Paine in his tweet, Ashwin said: "Good evening from Gabba!! I am sorry I couldn`t play here but thanks for hosting us and playing some hard cricket during these tough times. We will remember this series forever! @tdpaine36 @CricketAus."

Ashwin missed out at The Gabba as he complained of back spasms on the last day of the third Test. The bowling all-rounder had displayed amazing grit during the third Test at Sydney to help India walk away with a draw.

Paine`s efforts to throw Ravichandran Ashwin off-guard failed terribly on the final day of the third Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground as the off-spinner had the perfect comeback in store.

Unable to take wickets, Australia skipper Paine was trying his best to distract Ashwin and he was caught on stump mic as saying: "Can`t wait for you to reach Gabba, Ash."

To this, Ashwin immediately responded: "Can`t wait for you to come to India as well, that would be your last series.

"On Tuesday, Australia`s fortress -- The Gabba -- was finally breached. It took 32 years and two months, but the unthinkable was achieved as an injury-ravaged young Indian team beat Australia by three wickets against all odds in the final Test to take the series 2-1.

With critics pulling India down going into the series, Ashwin also had a tweet for them. He posted a photo of all the comments from the pundits on the left side and the photo of the Indian team with the trophy on the right side and wrote: "LHS ( not = ) RHS ! Yours happily India tour of OZ 2020/21 Humbled by all the love and support we have received over the last 4 weeks!"

The last time a visiting team came out triumphant from the Brisbane Cricket Ground was back in November 1988 when the mighty West Indian outfit under the leadership of Viv Richards thrashed Allan Border`s team by 9 wickets. What makes the feat even more commendable is how the Indians fought multiple injuries and mental fatigue - due to the bio-bubble restrictions -- to register a historic win.
