India vs Australia: India beat Australia by 137 runs, retain Border-Gavaskar trophy
Updated On Dec 30, 2018 12:28 PM IST
A clinical and "obsessed" India mopped up Australia's tail to win the third Test in Melbourne on Sunday by 137 runs and take an unassailable 2-1 lead into the final clash at Sydney. The home team resumed at 258 for eight after the morning session was wiped out by rain in their unlikely quest to hunt down a huge 399, which would have been a record fourth-innings chase at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
