The Sourav Ganguly-led side coached by John Wright were the first Indian side to go one-up in a Test series on Australian soil (after drawing the opening Test at Brisbane in 2003-04). Yesterday, the Virat Kohli-Ravi Shastri combination helped clinch the first Test of the series itself with the common factor being the venue - the picturesque Adelaide Oval.

"It's a great result for India and the team. I think they were the better team at this game," Wright told mid-day after India's 31-run win over Australia on Day Five of the first Test.
