'Brought back memories of 2003'
For the first time, India went 1-0 up after the first Test of a series in Australia.
It always seems impossible until it's done!

What a way to start the series!#TeamIndia never released the pressure. Superb batting by @cheteshwar1 with crucial knocks in both innings, @ajinkyarahane88 in the 2nd innings and excellent contributions by our 4 bowlers. This has brought back memories of 2003. #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/4gmviaKeCC

... as well as for a team from the subcontinent.
First Test win by an Asian side in Australia for 3,978 days. #AUSvIND

Australia put up a quite a fight on the final day in Adelaide.
Amazing grit displayed by the Australian lower order, but this is a moment to savour for a long time for Team India. The bowlers gave it everything and let's just enjoy this and carry the momentum into the Perth Test #AusvInd

There were some nervous moments for India fans...
As a fan of test cricket, loved the drama of the last day. As an India fan, that last hour destroyed my heart rate

... as the hosts strung together partnerships.
Australia's partnerships today: 31, 41, 31, 41, 31, 32. Lose by 31. #AusvInd

Some great fight from Australia, one significant partnership short of getting over the line! Congratulations to India, @cheteshwar1 the real difference. #AUDvIND

If only their top order had scored more runs...
Opener Aaron Finch (35 balls) has played the fewest balls in the Australian 2nd innings!#AusvInd#AusvsInd

Australia captain Tim Paine pointed out that Cheteshwar Pujara was the difference between the two sides in Adelaide.
India have had three away wins in 2018. Pujara scored a half century in the Johannesberg win, 72 at Trent Bridge and a total of 194 runs here at Adelaide. Clearly shows his immense value in away test wins, has been a standout performer #AusvInd

And there were the comparisons to India's most famous Test No. 3.
Great win by team India @BCCI. Bowlers have put their hands up and performed exceptionally. But one man made the difference in both the innings @cheteshwar1 just like Rahul bhai did years ago in the same ground #AUDvIND

Test Cricket is Best Cricket. Great fight by Australia in the end but India were too good. Winning after being 41-4 in first innings is a special effort. Outstanding Test match for Pujara and great effort from our bowlers. Promises to be a great series #AusvInd pic.twitter.com/PEYzKuBsap
