Series back to level pegging as India pulled off a memorable victory in Bengaluru test.

India gave a target of 188 runs to Australia, which the visitors knew won't be an easy task. Indian bowlers put up a fine performance with the ball to bring India back into the series.

When India were reduced to 246-8 from 238-4 in the space of 3 overs, Australia thought they had done enough to sense a victory in this test. But Saha and Ishant Sharma added some valuable runs for the last wicket to build some confidence in the team and make them believe that Aussies will not reach the total easily.

When Australia came out to bat, every member in Team India kept the belief in themselves. Captain, Kohli knew how the pitch would behave so he used his bowlers sensibly. Australia needed a good start to back themselves up but Indian bowlers had different ideas.

Every bowler stepped up to the task but the pick of the bowler was R. Ashwin. Ashwin completed his 25th five wicket haul and also completed 200 test wickets on Indian soil. He also surpassed Bishan Sing Bedi's 266 test wickets in the process.

Team India looked like a team on the mission as they were desperate to get this vital win and come back in the series.


The four match series is now tied at 1-1 and the next test will be played in Ranchi from 16th March.
