India beat Australia

Chasing a target of 328, and just four on the board at the start of day 5, India had a tough mission at hand. However, Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara came up with a fine century partnership after the dismissal of Rohit Sharma early on. While Gill departed for 91, Pujara got a crucial partnership with Ajinkya Rahane, who scored a quickfire 24.

However, the no 3 batsmen got dismissed for 55, putting India in a precarious situation. But Rishabh Pant carried on his form from promising India an improbable victory in the third Test to scoring an unbeaten 89*. A crucial cameo from Washington Sundar was among the other highlights.
