With the fourth and final Test match between India and Australia coming to an end with a draw on Day 5, the Indian side sealed the series 2-1 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. It came after both the captains decided to shake hands early when Australia were at 175/2 in their second innings.
During the Test, Virat Kohli ended his long wait for a century in red-ball cricket by smashing a patient 186. After the match, Kohli came up with a heartwarming gesture towards the Aussies.
In a video shared by the BCCI, the former captain was seen gifting his jerseys to Australia batters Usman Khawaja and wicketkeeper Alex Carey as memorabilia.
