 "A massive congratulations to @ajinkyarahane and team India on the series win! Thank you also for your sportsmanship and the incredibly kind gesture of a signed Team India shirt. It will be a great addition to the man cave," Lyon captioned his Instagram post on Wednesday. Team India led by stand in skipper Rahane punched above their weight to battle past the mighty Aussies in the recently concluded four-match Test series. 


 
In the absence of seasoned campaigners, youngsters Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, and Mohammed Siraj delivered the goods for Team India. Riding on Pant and Gill's batting masterclass, the depleted Team India side outclassed Australia in the series decider by three wickets at The Gabba.
