Watch: Team India gets a rousing welcome after Bengaluru win

In one of the most fascinating games of test cricket you would ever see in recent times, India staged an extraordinary comeback to win the second test by 75 runs and level the series 1 all. The Indians were all charged up as they took in the field on the final session of day 4.

Australia dominated the proceedings on day 1 of the match as they managed to dismiss India for a mere 189 in the first innings. This happened after India had won the toss and opted to bat first. Barring KL Rahul, who struck a magnificent 90, no other India batsman showed resilience at the crease. The day two saw Indian seamers bend their backs to help India stage a fightback.

But it was the guile and precision for left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja who ended up with a six-wicket haul. Despite his heroics, the Aussies had managed to a key lead in the first innings. The second innings saw the hosts lose two quick wickets in the run chase. It was down to Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane to muster a clinical 100 plus stand to steer the hosts forward.

The Indian team did not lose a single wicket in the final session of day 3 and that helped them get the impetus coming in to the final day. It was exceptional fast bowling on display as Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc then had the Indians on the backfoot with 4 quick wickets. The Virat Kohli-led side ended with a 187 run lead and the target of 188 did not look an uphill task at first. But considering the nature of the track, Indians were right in the game. Ravichandran Ashwin scalped 6 as Australia fell short by 75 runs to give India a series-levelling win.

Soon after the match, the team went back to their hotel for some relaxation after four days of intense action. The team arrived at the Ritz-Carlton, Bengaluru after their emphatic win. They were surprised by the rousing welcome that they received at the hotel. The working staff and the managers had lined up to applaud the efforts of the Indian team.

Cakes were ready with congratulatory messages on them as the team players KL Rahul and skipper Virat Kohli took their bites. The official Twitter handle of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a video of the same. Watch the Indian team receive the hero’s welcome at the hotel.
