India beat Australia by 137 runs in the third cricket test at Melbourne today to take an unassailable 2-1 lead in the four-match series.
Chasing a stiff target of 399, Australia were all out for 261 in the post-lunch session after the first session was washed out due to intermittent showers.
India needed 4.3 overs to take the final two wickets as Jasprit Bumrah 3 for 53 finished with a match-haul of 9 for 86. He was declared man of the match.
Ishant Sharma 2 for 40 took the final wicket of Nathan Lyon as India won their 150th Test match.
Ravindra Jadeja took 3 wickets while Mohammed Shami claimed two wickets. Pat Cummins’ 63 was the highest score for Australia in either of the innings.
