Ravichandran Ashwin dismisses Handscomb and Lyon in the space of three balls in the 36th over and helps India win the second Test at Bangalore by 75 runs. Australia are all out for 112 runs.

India have won a series-defining Test match. India were playing catch up right from the time they were all out for 189 runs in the first innings but the Indian bowlers fought back and restricted Australia’s lead to 87 runs.

Then Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane strung the series’ highest partnership of 118 runs and helped India post a lead of 187 runs.

Thereafter, Ravichandran Ashwin ran through Australia’s lower order, picking up six wickets for 41 runs.

India level the four-match series 1-1.
