The Australian bowlers have examined the patience of Hanuma Vihari and Ravichandran Ashwin, who passed the battle with letter mark on last day of the game as India have managed to draw the third Test in Sydney.

These two have understood the situation of this 'classic' Test match and have done the 'classic' batting. Bihari-Ashwin did not allow India to lose any more wickets after losing 5 wickets for 260 runs. Indian captain Ajinkya Rahane says this draw is equal to victory.

Rahane gave a message to his teammates to fight till the end before the game started in the morning. The Bihari-Ashwins have followed the captain's message very well. Rahane said their goal was to play without worrying about the outcome.

"It's as good as winning a Test match," he said at the end of the match. “It's definitely something special when we play outside home and play like this. In the morning we were talking about to play basics and keep fighting till the end without worrying about the results.”

Throughout the Test India has given a great fight. Australia lost just two wickets in their first innings and scored 200 runs. However, the Indian bowlers restricted Australia at 336 runs. The Indian captain thinks this is the turning moment for them.

"The way we fought, especially today is really admirable. It was really great when Australia were 200 for two in the first innings and they were all out for 337 runs.”

The final Test of the Border- Gavaskar series will proceed from January 15 as India have agreed to travel to Brisbane.
