Hosts level 1-1 on the third day after India slump to 175 all out in the second of the 5-match Border-Gavaskar series.
Pat Cummins’s first five-wicket haul at the Adelaide Oval has led Australia to a comprehensive 10-wicket win in the second Test against India, helping the hosts level the five-match series at 1-1.
The Australian skipper took 5-57 as he bounced out the Indian lower order on Sunday, with the visitors crashing to 175 all out in their second innings for a slender 18-run lead.
Resuming at 128-5 in the second innings, India needed a near-miracle from Rishabh Pant to have any hope of setting a testing fourth innings target for Australia to chase.
But Mitchell Starc had other ideas, as he had Pant (28) caught at slip from the sixth delivery of the afternoon.
Cummins then got into the act using the short ball tactic against the Indian lower order to great effect.
