It was at 3.47pm local time that Harshit Rana spread his arms and set off on a run in celebration after taking the final Australian wicket. India had finally finished the hosts off to seal one of their most memorable wins in Test cricket - one that, Indian skipper Jasprit Bumrah said, his son will hear stories of in the years to come.
He probably won't be alone, for such were the twists and turns of this Perth Test that it left a mark on all those watching.
Stories will be told. Memories will be made. Hosannas will be sung.
India won the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar series by 295 runs with more than a day to spare. Chasing a 534-run target for victory, Australia were bowled out for 238 in 58.4 overs on day four, with Travis Head's 89 the only real piece of resistance.
The Perth defeat was Australia's heaviest in terms of runs on home soil since 2012-a 309-run loss to South Africa at the WACA - and few people would have seen it coming when they bowled India out for 150 in the first innings. It was also the first time Australia have lost a match at the Optus stadium.
