Anyway, well done Indian Team. Record is a record.
no one will remember who played. True! You summed it up all beautifully. after 20-30 years, no one going to remember who played in this test series. except for the result.
Everyone forgot What happened in 2007-08 series and moved on.
I'm sorry to say but I don't agree with this, in 20-30 years from now I still think people will remember that one of the best batsman in the world at the time of this test series in Smith wasn't playing for Australia and that one of the best opening batsman in the world Warner was also not playing. Don't forget that this ball tampering from the three Australian guys will always be remembered due to it was the biggest thing to happen in Australian cricket so I believe everyone will remember that in this test series where India beat Australia on home soil that two of Australia's best batsman were not playing. Like I have been saying if they were playing it would of been a different story and the series would of been a lot closer then it was.
I totally agree with that. This test series between Australia and India was completely tasteless without Warner and Smith. India might succeed again in winning the upcoming ODI series against Australia, but for the Indian team, that should not be something to be *very* proud of.
Indians have a lot to cheer about in context of this series. It was not that tasteless for Indian or every cricket fan around the world for the following reasons.
1. Mayank Agarwal: Debutant faces the likes of Starc and shows in a foreign condition that he can bat no matter who is the opposition and he's here for a long run. time will tell how he transforms his test career. it depends on him.
2. Hanuma Vihari: Numbers don't support him but he has only 4 test under his cap and this guy showed grit and intent when facing English bowler in England and same here in Australia when given chance or throw under the bus (responsibility to open, according to team's requirement).
3. Rishab Pant: He is my fav youngest player in this Indian team along with Prithvi Shaw. I have been following him since under 19 world cup 2016 and let me tell you he's a very destructive player. his average is almost 50 in test despite throwing his wicket with the loose shot but he played only 9 Test match, made 2 centuries in Eng and Aus and missed 2 in India by playing loose shots. so he will learn from here and with more games, his wicketkeeping and batting will improve. no one can deny that his last inning in England and Australia was a good treat for every cricket fan.
Not including Indian Fast Bowlers.
Alright, guys, the Indian fans took it way too serious, so I'm taking my words back; the series was not tasteless. I should've said, "the series would've tasted better if Warner and Smith were playing."
The only thing I'm afraid of is the possible "over-confidence" of Virat Kohli in upcoming matches and series; it can prove to be very bad for the Indian cricket team.
Good luck Indian team (and fans) with all the upcoming matches!
Yes I think some are taking it too seriously while we have been pointing out that the series would of been a lot different if Smith, Warner and Bancroft were playing. I have praised Kohli and the Indian team on the series win however they didn't beat a full strength Australia team and when you play one of the best teams on home soil you want to beat the best team and Australia didn't have their best team out there playing.
special mention Misbah who was kind enough to play that shot 
he's handy all-rounder like Neesham so kiwis shouldn't worry much.
