Australia secured a 3-1 series victory against India and reclaimed the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in a decade with a six-wicket win in the fifth test.
Chasing 162 runs, Travis Head (34*) and debutant Beau Webster (39*) held their nerve after India’s pace attack, led by Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj, removed four top-order batters.
Despite India captain Jasprit Bumrah’s absence due to a back issue, the game remained intense on a lively pitch.
Australia’s Scott Boland shone with a 10-wicket haul across the match, while Webster sealed the win with a boundary, booking Australia’s place in the World Test Championship final against South Africa at Lord’s in June.
