India crushes Australia by 6 wickets to take a 2-0 lead in the series
Indian Cricket Team has produced another magnificent performance in the Tests as they pounded Australia by 8 wickets to take a lead of 2-0 in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. They batted and bowled sensationally well and made a mockery of the opposition.
Asked to bowl first, it was a collective bowling effort from India as they bundled out Australia for just 263 runs. Mohammad Shami led the charge for his side as he took four wickets whereas spinners R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja supported him as they took three wickets each.
Usman Khawaja(81) and Peter Handscomb (72*) struck half-centuries but they failed to convert their starts as Australia was bundled out for a low total. Indian batters too struggled to some extent as Nathan Lyon troubled them and picked fifer.
But a few handy knocks in 33 by skipper Rohit Sharma and 44 by Virat Kohli kept them in a tone hunt. Axar Patel, who set the stage on fire with the bat as he scored 74 runs, yet again shined for the side with the bat and rescued the Indian innings to take India to a total of 262 runs.
However, with the ball, they made sure that they wrap up Australian innings as quickly as possible. Ravindra Jadeja wreaked havoc across the Australia batting lineup and picked seven wickets. Ashwin complimented him well as he took 3 wickets to bundle out the opposition for 113 runs.
Chasing the target, although India lost KL Rahul early, skipper Rohit Sharma played aggressively and smashed 31 runs in 20 balls before a mix-up with Cheteshwar Pujara saw him back in the hut. Pujara and Virat Kohli (20) then batted beautifully. Shreyas Iyer was in a hurry to finish the game but he fell while hitting for
But it was Pujara who remained unbeaten on 31 runs and along with KS Bharat (22*) guided his side home by 7 wickets in his 100th Test and helped his team take a lead of 2-0 in the series and retain the BGT for the 4th consecutive time.

This Test would stand as one classic example of how one bad session of lack of concentration, misjudgement can cost you a Test and even an entire series.
