India pulled off a record run-chase in a thrilling final session to hand Australia their first defeat at Brisbane's Gabba ground since 1988 and clinch the four-Test series 2-1 on Tuesday. Australia had not been beaten at the Gabba since falling to Viv Richards' all-conquering West Indies side by nine wickets in November 1988, according to news agency AFP. "Fortress Gabba captured as #TeamIndia beat Australia and win the Border-Gavaskar Series 2-1," the BCCI tweeted.
The win has prompted a flurry of congratulatory messages for Team India from across the world.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai congratulated India for "one of the greatest test series wins ever" in a tweet.
"What a victory! This Indian team enters amongst the PANTheons of one of the most gutsy, resilient and greatest teams ever," wrote businessman Harsh Goenka.
Harsha Bhogle also hailed it as "the greatest test win", while industrialist Anand Mahindra tweeted, "Jawaab ho to aisa".

India's 329 for seven also smashed the 69-year-old record for the biggest run-chase at the Gabba, set by Australia who scored 236 for seven to beat the West Indies in 1951.
The series win was a remarkable achievement considering India were bowled out for their lowest Test score of 36 to lose the first Test in Adelaide, before bouncing back to win the second in Melbourne.
