"I think that it is a reward for all the hard work" - India captain Harmanpreet Kaur after beating Australia

At the post-match presentation, Indian Women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur reflected on the historic victory:

"I think that it is a reward for all the hard work that we have done over the years. The patience that we have shown to improve as a team, has been amazing! We have been playing together for many years now, so, that definitely helps. We put Richa Ghosh up the order to let her play positive cricket and keep the pressure applied on them. They batted well in the second innings, but still, we showed the trust in our bowlers and the contributions came in handy."

Harmanpreet continued:

"Our bowling coach keeps telling our bowlers to think only wickets, not contain runs. That has come good. We are thankful to the BCCI for giving us the opportunity to play Test cricket in back-to-back weeks. We are happy for the selections made as well and of course, it helps immensely when the crowd supports us like this! We are hopeful of the women's game improving by leaps and bounds in India."

The two teams will next face off in the three-match ODI series, which commences on December 28 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
