A huge number of cricket fans gathered on the Mumbai streets to cheer for Ajinkya Rahane who met his wife and daughter after several months. Amid the vibrant chants of ‘aala re aala Ajinkya aala‘, flowers were showered on him while dhol and trumpets made it a festive atmosphere.

It wasn’t an easy tour for the Indians as they were subjected to racial abuses during the last two games. Amidst all these odds, Ajinkya Rahane led from the front, kept his men together and returned home as the second Asian captain after Virat Kohli to have registered a Test series win on the Australian soil.

Indians were struggling to field even an XI in the 4th Test as key players were injured and also faced full-strength Australia at Gabba, Brisbane which is an invincible venue where Australia have not lost in over 30 years. But they overcame all odds defeating Australia as likes of youngsters Rishabh Pant, Shubman Gill and Mohammed Siraj rose to the occasion besides valiant contributions of Washington Sundar and Shardul Thakur.
