Cricket Archives: India marked a historic achievement by securing their first-ever series victory over Australia, clinching the series with a commanding win in the sixth Test match in Bombay.

Sunil Gavaskar And Chetan Chauhan’s Opening Partnership

Australia entered the match trailing 0-1 in the series, needing a win to level things up. However, India’s opening pair, Sunil Gavaskar and Chetan Chauhan, put on a match-defining partnership of 192 runs to effectively close the door on any Australian hopes of a comeback.

Stellar Batting Performances From Gavaskar, Kirmani, And Ghavri

The Indian batting continued to dominate, with Gavaskar anchoring the innings and Syed Kirmani contributing a remarkable century. Kirmani’s knock was particularly special, as he became just the third nightwatchman in Test history to score a century. Karsan Ghavri, batting at No. 9, added the finishing touch with a brisk 86 runs, taking India’s total to a massive 458 runs.

Australia’s Struggle With The Bat

Australia, with no hope of victory, was unable to put up a significant fight. In their first innings, only Graham Yallop managed to score more than 25 runs, finishing with 60 runs. In the second innings, Allan Border (61) and Kim Hughes (80) were the only Australian batsmen to reach double figures. Despite their efforts, it was clear that India’s dominance was too much for the Australian team to overcome.

India Wraps Up A Comprehensive Victory

With Australia’s batting crumbling, India wrapped up the match by an innings and 100 runs, securing a historic series win. This victory not only marked India’s first series triumph over Australia but also showcased the growing strength of Indian cricket on the global stage.

In the end, India’s all-round performance in Bombay ensured they took the series 1-0, cementing a memorable chapter in Indian cricket history.
