One of the last players to run onto the field when the winning runs were hit, was Shubman Gill. Gill, 21, almost went unnoticed in the initial celebrations. He took on the Australian bowling on the bouncy Gabba pitch. They tried to pepper him with words and bouncers, but he had an answer for everything.

Before his Test debut, head coach Ravi Shastri had walked to him during the final training session and stated, “you are ready for Test cricket young man.” In three Test matches he averaged 51.80 and scored 256 runs against one of the best bowling line-ups in the last two decades.
