The young team India Prithvi Shaw, who missed the opening Test against Australia due to an injury, celebrated the historic win with skipper Virat Kohli and his wife, Anushka Sharma.
Meanwhile, India went 1-0 up in their four-Test series against Australia, wrapping up a hard-fought 31-run win in Adelaide. Australia’s last four wickets contributed 107 on day five, with Nathan Lyon’s 38* off 47 from No.10. It prompted some nervous moments for the Indians and raising the hosts’ hopes of a famous fightback. But Ravichandran Ashwin floated one outside off tempting Josh Hazlewood to go for a drive, and KL Rahul took an excellent low catch at second slip to spark jubilation among Virat Kohli and his men.
Following India’s first Test win Down Under in 10 years, Shaw shared a picture on an Instagram story with Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma. The power couple will celebrate their first marriage anniversary tomorrow, and as a result, the talented actress has toured with the team.

Meanwhile, the talented batsman from Mumbai has resumed training after sustaining an injury during the practice game against Cricket Australia XI. Shaw limped around the Adelaide Oval with a heavy strap on his left ankle late last week.
However, Prithvi Shaw has started training with little jogging despite wearing a protective brace. The Indian camp is still in a dilemma whether Shaw will be fit for the Boxing Day Test at Perth.
“With youth on his side there might just be a case where he might recover quicker,” Indian coach Ravi Shastri said last week. “We’ll make a call as and when we get closer to Perth,” he added.
India leads the four-match Border-Gavaskar Test series by 1-0.
