"Toota Hai Australia Ka Ghamand!": IPL Team Lauds Harmanpreet Kaur And Co After Historic Test Win
The Indian women's cricket team clinched a historic maiden Test victory over Australia in the one-off encounter in Mumbai on Sunday. Sneh Rana took two wickets early on Day 4 to dismiss Australia for 261 and chasing a target of just 75 runs, Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues were able to guide their side to a sensational win. Indian Premier League (IPL) team Rajasthan Royals took to social media to pay a special tribute to Harmanpreet Kaur and Co following the huge achievement. RR posted a picture of the win on X with the caption - "Toota hai Australia ka ghamand (Australia's pride is broken)".
On the final day, India produced their best both with the ball and bat to thwart a spirited Australian resurgence, first sparking a collapse in the visitors' ranks to snaffle the remaining five wickets for 28 and then knocking off a meagre target of 75 without much ado to script an eight-wicket win.
Smriti Mandhana (38 not out) and Jemimah Rodrigues (12 not out) embraced each other in a warm hug when the objective of beating a world-dominating side was accomplished, bringing back memories of India's shushed reaction in 2008 in Australia when MS Dhoni's side beat the hosts and made a statement by not indulging in any passionate celebrations.
