Virat Kohli led-Team India created history by winning a Test series in Australia for the first time on Monday.
Having already retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy thanks to their win in Adelaide and Melbourne, the number one-ranked Team India clinched the four-match Test series 2-1 as the fifth day of the final Test in Sydney ended in a draw due to persistent rain.
