Former captain Chandu Borde, who led India in the opening Test of the 1967-68 Australia tour in Adelaide, was delighted to be proved right about the present Indian team's victory in the same city yesterday.

Borde was the second captain in line after Lala Amarnath [in 1947-48] to lose an opening Test in Australia. "I was watching this game on the opening day with my friends at Poona Club. Looking at the turn the pitch was taking, I told my friends that we are going to win. Today too, I was confident that our bowlers would dismiss them to win the Test," Borde told mid-day from Pune yesterday.
