India Vs Australia: Tendulkar leads cricket fraternity in hailing Team India for Melbourne Test win

New Delhi, Dec 30: Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar led the cricketing fraternity to hail the Virat Kohli and his band of men for registering a comprehensive victory over Australia in the third Test in Melbourne on Sunday (December 30).

The Indian team has taken giant strides towards their first-ever Test series win on Australian soil in as many as seven decades.
