December 19th - India 36 all-out.
December 29th - India won at MCG.
January 11th - India batted 131 overs to seal a draw at SCG.

Greatest ever come back in Indian cricket history if not over-all.
 
Not ever, but one of the greatest comebacks.

Hats off to the Indian team for playing this cricket in back-to-back tests after getting bowled out in 30s in the first test.
 
This is much bigger than 2001. On foreign soil, with a 3rd string team against a full strength Aussie team! Cant better than this.
 
no that still is the 2001 test against the mighty Aus..

We are playing in Australia & in first test we bowled out our lowest ever score .it's not so easy to make a comeback after that disaster performance that's to against Australia .so for me this is best ever comeback of us .
 
If India win the final test, it will be a back palm slap on the face of the Aussies. No two ways about it.

No india were missing Srinath and Kumble who were beast at home and that Australian side was lot better than this one.
 
Hate words like greatest and stuff like that.

Let's just enjoy this, no need to belittle past achievements or overhype this.

Every success is special.
 
Everything from 3rd day of Brisbane test India having some problems like injury ,bio- Secure bubble & conspiracy theories of Gabba test & latest racial abuse .still we outperform Australia with this weak team .
I Just can't believe it .
