On Sunday, the West Indies finally ended a more than two-and-a-half-decade-long wait as they scripted a historic AUS vs WI Test victory at Gabba. In a captivating contest in Brisbane, the island nation’s team, inspired by the 24-year-old pacer Shamar Joseph, triumphed over the formidable and star-studded Australian side.
Sachin Tendulkar, the legendary Indian cricketer, praised Shamar Joseph as the ‘architect’ of West Indies’ remarkable win.
“Shamar Joseph’s remarkable spell to claim 7 wickets highlights the sheer grit and drama of Test cricket. This is the format that truly challenges and showcases a player’s mettle. A key architect in scripting a historic victory for the West Indies in Australia after 27 years,” Tendulkar wrote on X.
The pinnacle of Test cricket unfolded as the visitors asserted their dominance, securing an 8-run victory to level the two-match Test series at 1-1.
This triumph, after 27 years, has earned accolades from the cricketing world, with the West Indies team stunning everyone with their exceptional performance. Despite initial expectations favoring Australia, especially after their convincing win in the first Test, Kraigg Brathwaite’s spirited troops defied predictions, leaving cricket legends astonished.\
