The fortress has been breached.
It took 32 years and two months, but the unthinkable has been achieved as an injury-ravaged young Indian team beat Australia by three wickets against all odds in the final Test of the series at The Gabba on Tuesday (January 19) to take the series 2-1.
Rishabh Pant will be forgiven for all the mistakes he has made through the series with wicket-keeping gloves as each of the 89 runs that he scored in the final hour was worth its weight in gold.
It was only poetic justice that he hit a boundary to win India a thriller.
The last time a visiting team came out triumphant from the Brisbane Cricket Ground was back in November 1988 when the mighty West Indian outfit under of Viv Richards thrashed Allan Border's team by 9 wickets.
What makes the feat even more commendable is how the Indians fought multiple injuries and mental fatigue - due to the biobubble restrictions -- to register a historic win.
