However, what is even more heartening for Indian cricket fans, is that this is only the second time that India has managed to win more than one Test match in a series in Australia.

After setting a record of 399 on the fourth day, India was quick to claim the final two wickets (in only 4.3 overs) in the last match of innings and Australia were rolled for 261. 

While a bouncer by Ishant Sharma dismissed Nathan Lyon, bowler Jasprit Bumrah managed to cut short Pat Cummings’ innings. 

With this, Bumrah also set a record for the best performance by an Indian bowler in Australia.
