What a Test Match it was and finally India had something to cheer about for the series.
This win will give India and boost and will pump them, probably set the momentum.
Here's how Twitterati reacted to India's fantastic win in Bangalore.
Also spice is added to the test match with a lot of banter going on between the players and also banter going on between the ex-players off the field.
Kohli retaliated as follows:
"We've got 1.2 billion people in India, one person doesn't make a difference to my life."
"Also you need to go and search on Youtube when he was given out down the leg side - I heard he said something about me not having good behavior with the umpires."
"I think you should all Youtube that video and i think that says it all."
By the way, This is the video he was talking about:
With a pitch where 200 would be a very difficult target, India posted a target of 187, thanks to Saha and Ishant as they held their nerve and dragged the target to 187 otherwise India would be a 20 short giving the Aussies a psychological advantage and eventually a victory in the 2nd Innings to come.
Indians started off with Ashwin and Ishant and soon Ishant go the wicket of Renshaw , from then the Aussies held a runrate of over 4 and close to 5.
The hosts started feeling the pressure, until Ashwin picked up the wicket of David Warner in the 10th over.
Then Shaun Marsh followed, who got the wrong decision and you can't give any excuses since the Aussies had a couple of reviews but there was a story for not reviewing it and here's the drama:
This is what Gilchrist tweeted:
And the Player of the match was KL Rahul for his 90 of 205 in his first innings and 51 of 85 in his second innings, but how crucial was that 92 of 221 by Pujara in second innings???
Terrific test match for the sport lovers!!!

A perfect Test match in the recent past home season in India, all the other matches in this home season have been too one sided with Indian spin twins dominating the opposition, but Aussies bring in their own spin pair and have tormented India and that made this series exciting.India 🇮🇳 to good. Congratulations on a brilliant win. What a Test match! What a series so far. 1-1— Michael Clarke (@MClarke23) March 7, 2017

One such player is an ex-Australian wicket keeper, and no it's not Adam Gilchrist, it's Ian Healy, who said that he was losing his respect for the Indian Skipper Virat Kohli and also said that his captaincy was putting his bowlers under pressure, as a result they are not performing, Healy also indicated that one could see pressure on Ashwin's face.Great Test match cricket #INDvsAUS Win, lose or draw being gracious is what a captain should be.

Then it was the prized wicket of Captain Smith and here's the drama behind it when Smith wanted to decide whether to review, he took the help of non-striker Handscomb who redirected Smith to the Dressing Room and soon Kohli was infuriated and let Steve know about it and umpire Nigel let Steve know that he's not supposed to do something like that.Smith also says he didn't think S Marsh was out, told him to "go", meaning go for the review but Marsh misunderstood & walked off. #INDvAUS— Melinda Farrell (@melindafarrell) March 7, 2017
This is what Gilchrist tweeted:
I never played in the review era, but I'd suspect that's against the rules. Not a good thing. Sure he will be reprimanded and move on. https://t.co/PBThYai68l— Adam Gilchrist (@gilly381) March 7, 2017
