SYDNEY: The Australian media believe India's record victory has signaled the end of the world champions' dominance and exposed shortcomings caused by player retirements.
"Australia have lost before but it's been a long time since they were so comprehensively taken apart. Everyone knew they could be beaten but not broken. No one expected them to be brushed away like dust off a table," Australian newspapers said.
The defeat was Australia's biggest in a Test since 1999, when Steve Waugh's team lost to the West Indies by 10 wickets in Jamaica. It was also India's biggest victory by runs in their history.
