Top 5 Australian Test wins in the sub-continent

#3 Win vs India, Bengaluru, 2004

Clarke and Warne celebrate after beating India

Steve Waugh had called India the ‘final frontier’ for Australia and in 2004, they finally conquered it. The win at Bangalore though set the tone for the series. Having been reduced to 149-4 in the first innings, debutant Michael Clarke scored a majestic 151 while Adam Gilchrist clubbed a 109-ball 104 to take Australia to 474.

The Test match was only going one way after that and after India were dismissed for 246 in their reply, the result seemed a foregone conclusion.

Set 457 for an improbable victory, India folded for 239 as Australia romped to 217 run victory, that will forever be regarded as the win that finally changed their fortunes in India.
