India's win against Australia in the 2021/22 season under the leadership of Ajinkya Rahane is considered as a historic feat in Indian cricketing history. India, despite being at half strength, beat Australia by a margin of 2-1 in the four-match Test series. The tour Down Under has a very high place in the legacy of Indian cricket because of the amount of struggle India went through for the entirety of the tour.

   Tempers flared in the Test matches in Sydney, Melbourne and Gabba as sections of the Australian crowd turned hostile toward the Indian team, apart from the tearaway pacers of the Australian team.       Indian OTT platform Voot has decided to make a web series about the riveting contest, where they are set to show behind-the-doors footage from the tour.

    Speaking about the same, Cheteswar Pujara in an interview on Instagram live shared a few memories from the series, which he said the going to be shown once the series releases later on June 16.

    The series is called Bandon Mein Tha Dum.

     The Indian middle-order batsman was particularly impressive. The Australian bowlers targeted the Saurashtra player who had dropped the anchor on them. Pujara copped nasty blows throughout the series, but refused to back down against the Australian bowling attack.

   I could not sleep well for the next couple of days, The pain was so much that I could not sleep on my left side, Pujara revealed in the chat alongside Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Siraj.

    He said that it was a sweet pain given it came for a good cause, but at the time he did not realize the extent of his injury.

   I kept playing on with a fracture in my index finger When you are doing a job for the country, you forget the pain. But you realize that later, chuckled the master,  who has been in top form in County Cricket.

   India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin hailed Cheteshwar Pujara for his defiant knock on the final day of the thrilling series decider at the Gabba, Australia's fortress that was breached by the Indian side. Ashwin said that Pujara stood like the Rock of Gibraltar and took the blows on his body for a right cause.

   A lot of incidents happened outside the field. Jinx was saying that the families were extremely supportive during that Australia tour. After we had won this Melbourne Test, there was this whole talk of the Indian team breaching the bio-bubble.

    Pujara faced 928 balls and scored 271 runs in the 4-Test series as he made sure the Australian bowlers were fatigued when the action shifted to Day 5 at the Gabba.
