The wait is over and the result of second test cricket match between Australia and India is as expected. India registered their second highest win over Aussies by an Innings and 135 runs as it was predicted by me in last article of March 4th, 2013. The bad luck with run for Aussie batsman or I must say their struggle on the slow and turning track of sub-continent is still going on. Lack of dedication and application from the Aussies batsman on the pitch led to their 2nd consecutive loss in the series.

| Ravichandran Ashwin celebrating a wicket |
Ishant provided India the initial breakthrough by picking up the wicket of S. Watson and that open up the floodgates for Indian spinners. Jadeja and Ashwin shared 3 wickets each out of remaining 7 wickets and one was a run out on the direct throw by the live wire in field R. Jadeja. So, in short Pujara, Ashwin and Jadeja are the heroes for India team to help them register the victory in just over 3-days and a session.
As expected Cheteshwar Pujara was adjudged Man of the Match for his brilliant double hundred in the test match which proved very vital in the win for India. Batting skills and cool temperament displayed by the Cheteshware Pujara has proved all his contributions in the domestic cricket. His performance has proved that he is going to be good player in the long run and he has all those qualities which make him the replacement of the great Rahul Dravid at the number 3 batting position in strong Indian batting line up.
The poor performance by Aussies in every department of the game in first 2 tests has provided a glimpse of hope for Indian fans for a Series Whitewash (4-0). India have never whitewashed Australian team in the history of test cricket where 3 or more matches were played in the test series. With this win Dhoni became the most successful test skipper in the history of Indian cricket surpassing the record of 21 test wins by former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly.
Indian skipper M.S. Dhoni lead Indian team very well as this team have many new players so the job of the skipper was crucial to feel them confident against the might Australians. But Dhoni played his role very beautifully and that is why Indian players excelled in every department of the game. On the contrary Australian skipper is struggling very badly as he leading a team in making after the retirement of many star test players.
