[@HindiThoughtRabbit]

Absolute Grit ! A fight Rahul Dravid would be proud of. A perfect gift for him on his birthday. A few years down the line, people would just remember that it was a drawn match. Test Cricket is a unique sport in itself. It gives us so many opprotunities to show character, determination, fight and not letting the opposition win. So much similar to life. There is no other sport that comes close in that regard. I remarked at the end of 36 all out, on this very show -> that this is the Indian cricket team. They have some wonderful characters and missing Virat would be a blow, but that doesn't mean India will not fight. And then came the victory at Melbourne. And here in SCG, India was on the backfoot for long period of time. Salvaging a draw, given that Rahane got out very early in the day is an absolute gem of a victory itself. Feel so happy for Vihari and Ashwin (the batsman). On to Gabba now !...

Back in 2003, I'd wake up everyday at 4, just to watch India-Australia tests in the Sydneys and the Melbournes and the Brisbanes. Over the years, I don't remember doing that ever again for any match, no matter how much the stature. I thought no set of eleven Indian players could ever make me do that again. But watching this Indian team, a borderline minnow, fighting it out like soldiers in the battlefield, they forced me to wake up each morning and watch them grind it out. This has been an inspirational series. How fitting would it be, to watch India win it in Brisbane? Odds are so heavily stacked against them, but it was similar right before the MCG test. I really wish India win this out. Thanks to both teams for giving us memories that'd last a lifetime.

A phenomenal performance by India. One of the best displays of resilience I have seen by an Indian team. Like most, I was resigned when Rahane got out, and then again later when Pujara got bowled, but that was some seriously high class batting by Pujara, Pant, Vihari, and Ashwin. Pant is a mercurial guy. He will make us cheer for him and then curse him for getting out the way he did. But that was a fantastic innings. Gave India a sniff. If he had stuck around for another hour, or if Jadeja had not been injured, India would have been in with a real chance. Pujara's critics should just shut up now. He is an invaluable commodity. His part in saving this test match is not to be forgotten. He played over 200 balls himself and wore down the Aussies. Terrific. It took a real peach from Hazelwood to get him. Vihari showed the meaning of resilience. Playing on one leg, he just was solid apart from the one chance. Really saved his career. Hope his contribution isn't forgotten. Ashwin really reminded us again that he can bat. Terrific fighting spirit. Played Lyon without trouble and took the hits from fast bowlers bravely. Outstanding work. Now, as for the Gabba, I really hope Bumrah and Ashwin are all right. Without them, India's bowling will be in deep trouble. Provided they are fit, it will be the same four as this test match. I suppose any two of Aggarwal, Shaw, and Saha will play. Probably Aggarwal and Saha, especially if Pant is not completely ok to keep. But I would understand playing Shaw over Saha too if Pant can keep. Gabba will be tough, without doubt. But they have done their job for the third test.

Just wanted to highlight few things which I made note of on Harsha's commentary in recent times. Before that, I just want to say that I take a lot of pride as an Indian and as an ardent cricket fan whenever he is referred to as Voice of Cricket. Although, I would love to see him be more honest and brutal instead of being politically correct just as his Aussie counterparts are in this series, afterall he is an Indian representative too. To highlight what I am saying, I will share few moments in Sydney test. When Ashwin and Vihari were exchanging rib guards while facing Aussie seamers, McGrath so sternly highlighted in the extra innings that India was wasting a lot of time when Vihari and Ashwin were batting at the centre,which was arguably true(although one can debate since Ashwin and Vihari were physicaly struggling). Now we see moments where Siraj and Bumrah are racially abused by spectators, Ashwin sledged(although Aussies are known for that) and clearly I mean clearly we see Steve Smith scuffing Rishabh Pant's guard marks on purpose, Harsha maintains a politically correct approach rather than highlightingthe real issue and confronting McGrath. In the end everyone would love to see cricket played in right spirits, but at the same time every fan of each country would want their representative to take a stern stand for their country whenever need be, which surely Harsha doesnot do too often.

Taking all those misfortunes, twists and turns, I would say our Indain test cricket at its finest. So proud to be an Indian team supporter... 👏👏👏

[@shivashankarvinnakota5762]

An absolute master stroke from Rahane by sending pant ahead of Vihari... The grit of Pujara, storm of pant, grindness of Vihari and stubbornness of Ashwin all together saved us the game for India...This is India's one of the most memorable matches.. Hatsoff team India

[@ghumakkadvlog5447]

are not just players playing a match it was a battlefield and soldiers are fighting for the country. Hatsoff to all the players Jai hind 🇮🇳

[@mrinalnavdhavlogs3647]

To be honest befiore this knock i never really respected vihari and thought kl should come back into the side but when i saw him bat with that hamstring . I really started respecting him

I just love you Harsha sir 💕💕💕

[@rushikeshpanzade5222]

After every setback this Indian team is just getting better and better and better... short of words to explain this miracle India has done today.. u got no shami,kohli, ishant,bhuvi,umesh,kl rahul, and in between match ur two key Batsman gets injured terribly one with hamstring and the other with his dislocated thumb. u r 3 down for 100 and have to bat more than 100 overs to save the test and left with only 3 specialist Batsman..Oh man I still can't believe how the hell India pulled this off. Hatss off to Pujara,pant, Vihari and Aswhin.!!

[@sultankhan-wq5qz]

Brave gutsy played by india well done . Pants counter attack was great to watch and all played their part .

[@saiKiran-wk2jp]

It's true that Rishab pant needs to improve But the x factor he is bringing to his team is invaluable 1)consistently scoring 25+ scores which involves 50+ partnership with others He has done thrice this series 2)left right combination to make sure that bowlers keep changing thier lengths The only things he needs to improve his Converting starts to 50+ runs Wickt keeping skills Team managemt has to invest in him and properly guide him He is just 23 years old and it's too harsh to get trolled whenever he drops catches Just compare his stats with other keepers performance

[@ManishSingh-ic7bu]

Yup But He needs to improve his wk skills and keep patience don't throw wicket

[@KunalBESRA27]

The conversation between the two is so insightful ❤

It’s most memorable test which ends in draw. Well played Pant, Pujara. Finally saved by Ashwin and Vihari👍💪

Pant is unbelievably talented, seen him in 2017/17 IPL. Batting for worst team of the competition DD, but he comes every time and plays like a champion! What an attitude, courage and confidence! Simply wow!

[@satyamgupta4083]

Hanuma Vihari literally played the innings of his life. This is much more than even a century or double century

[@Clklom]

I get up early in the morning to check the scores about this IND/AUS Series. I never used to watch 5 days matches but now it's so interesting and I hope India wins this series and retain the SG/AB Cup. This series has created interest about 5 days Matches around the world and everyone is waiting for the results. Whatever is the result India has been the best and they have revived the 5 Days Cricket Match format with a fighting comeback and even when there are so many top players being injured. Good luck India and you will make us proud by winning this series as it will be like world Cup win and Indians and other countries will celebrate this win.

The draw was gutsy and kudos to the team for fighting through the pain but India now need to win 4 out of the last 5(1 at Brisbane and 4 against England at home) tests to qualify for the WTC final.

If we draw rest two, we only gotta win 3. BTW winning against England is easy as we are facing them in home conditions.

Ashwin, waited so long for this kind of innings Vihari, giving others hope when he himself could not get runs So good to Harsha review, all the best to India, chance for youngsters to shine. Seeing for the first time no members remaining to leave out of squad, all reserves being used
