Virat Kohli and his Men in Blue played the waiting game at the Sydney Cricket Ground as rain delayed play during Day 5 of the fourth and final Test against Australia. With a 2-1 series, there wasn’t much that Team India had to be worried about. So as soon as the match was declared drawn, the dressing room erupted in celebrations, and cheers of ‘hip hip hurray’ echoed as the proud Indian cricket team walked out.
After a hard grind of 19 days of Test cricket, the skipper in the post-match presentation said that the team deserves to unwind.
"Celebrations are going to run long into the night I can assure you. Now we've got no more Test cricket and no more alarms in the morning. Crowds have been outstanding. They've never let us feel we are playing away from home. They've come in numbers in every stadium," the skipper signed off.
