The Indian men's hockey team stunned world champions Australia 3-1 in the final Test. India recorded a historic 3-1 series victory in Australia on Sunday. Akashdeep Singh led the way for India with two goals of his own in the 13th and 43rd minutes. S K Uthappa added another one in the 53rd minute.

Tom Craig scored Australia's only goal in the 36th minute.

After losing the first Test of the series 0-4, India won three in a row, 2-1, 1-0 and 3-1. It's a big deal because not only was it against Australia, but also because it was IN Australia.

A big inspiration for India was the return of regular skipper Sardar Singh. He played in his 200th international match, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest Indian athletes of all time.
