In the first Test, India had been bowled out for 36, and returning from that blow was hugely impressive for India who had startled everyone in the cricket fraternity.
The third match didn’t produce any result after ending in draw, while Australia had crushed India to an eight-wicket defeat in the first game, taking all expectations along with them to win the series. However, India made their strong comeback to go on to win second and fourth game to finish the series 2-1.
In the fourth game, Washington Sundar and Shardul Thakur had landed big knocks with their scores of (62) and (67) respectively in India’s first innings in response to Australia’s first innings total of (369). Australia, in their second innings had scored (294), rendering a target of (328) for India.
