Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar posted: " Really proud of #TeamIndia! Special mention to @RishabhPant17,@cheteshwar1@ashwinravi99 and@Hanumaviharifor the roles they’ve played brilliantly. Any guesses in which dressing room the morale will be high?"

Another former Indian cricketer VVS Laxman said: "What a remarkable performance by Team India. Once again great show of resilience under grave provocation, spate of injuries and several key players missing. Bravo! #AUSvsIND."
