India make clean sweep against Australia

DELHI: India defeating Australia by six wickets in the fourth Test here at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground on Sunday, made a clean sweep 4-0.

This was for the first time in their Test history that India recorded four wins in a series.

Chasing 155 to win on the third day, India completed the victory for the loss of four wickets.

Cheteshwar Pujara, opening the innings in the absence of Shikhar Dhawan and fighting a finger injury of his own, led the chase with his second fifty - 82 off 92 balls.

A minor blip interrupted India's progress as three wickets fell for five runs to reduce India to 128 for 4, a period during which Sachin Tendulkar failed in possibly his last Test innings at home.

Pujara, though, refused to acknowledge all this, bringing India level with three successive fours, and let MS Dhoni, whose grey beard bears the traces of two previous whitewashes of India, finish the rest.
