SK Flashback: India defeat Australia 4-0 for the first time in a Test series

Third Test: Dhawan’s assault blows Australia away

Dhawan announced his arrival in style

The saga moved to Mohali where the visitors once again batted first after winning the toss. They put on their best show with the bat as they made 408 runs courtesy half-centuries from Ed Cowan, David Warner, Steven Smith and Mitchell Starc. Ishant Sharma was India's best bowler and grabbed three wickets on a batting-friendly pitch.

Shikhar Dhawan then announced his arrival in international cricket as he blasted the fastest century by a debutant, scoring 187 runs off just 174 balls. VIjay got his second hundred of the series as he scored 153. Kohli too got a fifty as India went past the Australian score and ended up with 499. Peter Siddle was pretty effective with the ball and grabbed a fifer.

It was the same old story again for the Kangaroos as they were bowled out for 223 in the second innings. Phil Hughes was the only batsman to cross 50. A combined bowling effort from India meant that they had their noses in front going into the chase.

The target for India in the fourth innings was 133 and despite losing four wickets, they got there rather comfortably. The debutant Dhawan was adjudged the Man of the Match.
