Srikar Bharat doggedly held on as the Australian spinners desperately searched for wickets.
It was the wicket-keeper's second Test and it must have been pure joy to be there at that glorious moment when victory was achieved.
Bharat took the aerial route to celebrate triumph, and we delight in his exuberance.
