Despite the overcast skies hovering over the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) for two straight days, it has been a brilliant Indian summer. It was a moment 71 years in the making. When Indian skipper Virat Kohli lifted the Border-Gavaskar Trophy yesterday before a smattering of Australian fans, Indian supporters and iconic superfan Sudhir Kumar Gautam, history was created - an Indian touring side had won a Test series in Australia for the first time.

The grey clouds and misty sprays that persisted over the SCG could not stop the sun from shining on the Indian Test team. Even before the presentation at around 2.45pm Sydney time, the vocal group were singing and dancing as the rain fell, livening up an otherwise sombre and sodden SCG.
