From politicians to present-day cricketers, all hailed India's win by an innings and 135 runs over Australia in less than three and half days, which helped the hosts take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the four-match series.
"This is an unprecedented victory. The way India has won -- with huge margins in Chennai and Hyderabad -- will raise their morale. Beating Australia, who are a strong side, is a big achievement for India," Shukla told reporters outside the Parliament here.
The match lasted just two hours into the fourth day and Australia's frailties against spin stood thoroughly exposed yet again after the eight-wicket loss in the opening Test in Chennai.
