Australia Captain Alyssa Healy Turns Photographer For Indian Women's Team, Internet In Awe

The Indian women's cricket team secured a historic victory against Australia as the two teams squared off in a Test match. Tempers flared in the high-profile encounter, with India skipper also engaging in an on-field tussle with her counterpart Healy. Yet, as the game concluded, Healy showed her excellent sporting character as she picked up the camera to click a picture of the Indian team on this historic occasion. The Australia skipper was also duly lauded on the social media for her gesture.

India secured a victory by 8 wickets after being given a target of just 75 runs to chase in the second innings. Heading into the Test assignment after having already beaten England in a similar one-off Test, India didn't take their foot off the gas as Harmanpreet's side steamrolled Australia.

As the internet world lauded the Indian team, there were those too who hailed Healy for her sporting gesture.
