    Kohli, Shastri join these two cricket legends

    The duo joined cricket legends, Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara, who were granted the honorary membership earlier. Under Kohli's captaincy and Shastri's management, India won their first ever Test series on Australian soil. India clinched the four-match series by a 2-1 margin. The final Test at the SCG ended in a draw. SCG Chairman Tony Shepherd congratulated India for their victory.

    'Test cricket is well served having both'

    "The SCG congratulates Team India for securing its first Test series win on Australian soil," Shepherd was quoted by the official website of the SCG. He praised the two for playing a significant role in Test cricket. He added, "Virat and Ravi have been at the forefront of that and Test cricket is well served having both placing such significance on the five-day format."

    Shastri humbled to have received the honor

    Australia defeated India and took a 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series. Batting first, Australia managed to post a total of 288/5. India had a disastrous start and were reeling at 4/3 before Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni tried to build the innings. Rohit Sharma scored 133 for India, but that wasn't enough in the end.
