IND V AUS 2020: How many Test matches have Team India won in Australia?

#5. Perth (Jan 16 - Jan 19, 2008)

Irfan Pathan

Down 0-2, and in the midst of the Monkeygate scandal, Team India produced one of their finest all-round efforts. Batting first after winning the toss, Dravid's 93 and Tendulkar's 71 lifted India to a competitive 330.

Having chipped in with a crucial 28 lower down the order, Irfan Pathan proceeded to send back the Aussie openers Phil Jaques and Chris Rogers cheaply. Ishant Sharma bowled that unplayable spell to Ricky Ponting while RP Singh claimed 4 for 68 as the Aussies were restricted to 212.

In the second innings, Laxman’s 79 combined with 40s from Sehwag and Pathan and 30s from MS Dhoni and RP Singh saw India set Australia an improbable target of 413.

Despite Michael Clarke’s 81 and Mitchell Johnson’s sparkling 50, Team India clinched the Test by 72 runs as Pathan claimed three, and RP Singh, Anil Kumble and Sehwag two each.

#6. Adelaide (Dec 26 - Dec 30, 2018)

Cheteshwar Pujara

Team India registered their second win at Adelaide during their previous tour Down Under. Electing to bat first after winning the toss, India folded up for 250 despite Cheteshwar Pujara’s spirited 123.

The Indian bowlers, however, hit back to restrict the Aussies to 235. Travis Head top-scored for Australia with 72. However, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin picked up three wickets each while Mohammed Shami and Ishant Sharma claimed two scalps apiece.

In the second innings, Pujara’s 71 and Ajinkya Rahane’s 70 saw Team India post a competitive second-innings total of 307. Chasing 323, the Aussies crumbled to 187 for 7, with Shaun Marsh’s 60 providing the only piece of resistance.

The lower order fought hard with Tim Paine, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon all chipping in. Bumrah, Ashwin, and Shami, however, claimed three wickets each as India won the Test by 31 runs.

#7. Melbourne (Dec 26 - Dec 10, 2018)

Mayank Agarwal

Team India’s most recent Test win in Australia came at Melbourne during the Boxing Day Test of 2018-19. Team India put up an excellent batting effort to post 443 for 7 before declaring their innings.

Pujara hit yet another hundred, compiling 106 in 319 balls. Skipper Kohli and Rohit Sharma also contributed half-centuries. However, the match is most remembered for Mayank Agarwal’s belated Test debut, which saw him make a memorable 76.

In Australia’s response, Bumrah’s 6-for rolled over the Aussies for 151. India batted for a second time, and put up a quick 106 for 8, leaving the hosts 399 to chase.

Bumrah and Jadeja claimed three scalps each this time and Ishant and Shami two apiece as Australia folded up for 261. Cummins’ resistance of 63 was in vain as Team India went 2-1 up in the series, eventually claiming it following the draw at Sydney.
