#4 Perth 2008
Dravid, who had a habit of performing well against Australia, once again played a significant role in India’s victory. Following the early dismissals of the Indian openers, the ‘Wall of Indian cricket’ batted for 278 minutes, scoring 93 runs along with Tendulkar, who managed to score 72 runs.
Meanwhile, Australia were bowled out for 212 runs and gave India a lead of 118 runs. In the third innings, Laxman’s 79 aided India in reaching 294 and they set Australia a target of 413 runs with almost three days remaining in the match.
However, a collective effort from the Indian bowlers ended the game inside four days and therefore sealed the match by 72 runs.
