In an exciting, nail-biting finish, India beat Australia at its own bastion after 32 years. India managed to retain the Border-Gavaskar trophy. Rahane’s voice was drowned in the “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” chants that filled the stadium.
Further, as Pant hit the winning stroke, the stadium was filled with Vande Mataram song.
That Vande Matram Song in background 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
