India, resuming their first innings at 156/4, were bowled out for a paltry 175, with only Nitish Reddy offering any significant resistance with scores of 42 in both innings. Travis Head’s magnificent 140 in the first innings had laid the foundation for Australia’s commanding lead.

Cummins’ five-wicket haul in the second innings capped off a truly outstanding performance from the Australian captain. The series now heads to Indore for the third Test.
