Thumping Victory

After all the talking, we finally know the winner. It was pretty obvious. India outplayed Australia in every department. The Australians talked about the way only one team was playing to win the match. Guess, they were referring to India in that context. Many records have been shattered. Here are the top 5 moments of this year's series(according to NDTV).


1.Sachin Tendulkar surpasses Brian Lara's record


2.Anil Kumble's last Kotla outing


3.Mahi's parting gesture


4.Gambhir-Watson spat(I loved this one!)


5.Winning moments

This was a moment that Indians across the world will cherish for years to come. Back at the No. 2 spot in world rankings, India walloped the world champions 2-0. That's our moment No. 5 along with Ishant Sharma bucking all trends by becoming a fast bowler to win a 'Man Of the Series' award at home.


The series had other moments as well. Harbhajan Singh dismissing Ricky Ponting for the 10th time to complete his 300 Test wickets, Ganguly completing 7000 Test runs, VVS Laxman playing his 100th Test and Sachin Tendulkar taking his 100th Test catch.
