Australia were one of the most feared teams during the early to mid 2000s. The Nagpur Test was the third of the four-match series in 2004 and India were trailing 1-0.

Aussies posted a massive 398 in the first innings. In reply, India just managed 185. With a lead of 213 in the bag, Australia added another 329 runs before declaring and challenging India with a humongous target of 543.

The match finished with the Aussies conquering their final frontier by winning the match by a massive 342 runs - highest margin of victory against India for any team till date. This goes down as one of Tendulkar's worst defeats as he aggregated only 10 runs - the least for any batsman in that particular Test.
