The Indian spin-bowling pair of Ravichandran Ashwin-Ravindra Jadeja continued to haunt Australia as they wreaked havoc in the morning session of Day𓆏 3 to restrict the touri🤡sts for a paltry 113 in the second Test of the four-match series.
Starting their second ❀innings at an overnight score of 61-1, the Aussies were abysmal with their batting approach and yet again got bundled out cheaply at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Jadeja registered his career-best figures of 7/42, while Ashwin picked three wickets as India registered a thumping win in two and half days. The Rohit Sharma-led side chased down the 115-run target with six wickets to spare. Cheteshwar Pujara top-scored with an unbeaten 31.
With this win, India have also retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Meanwhile, Australia have now gone without the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in their grasp for nearly a decade. The last time they had the trophy🌺 was back in 2014-15 after winnin🉐g the series 2-0 at home.

It’s at a point now where arguably no bowler in Test history has tormented Australia with such prolonged relentlessness as Ravindra Jadeja. 80 wkts in 14 matches ac✱ross a decade, averaging 17 and striking at 45. Just extraordinar🌌y stuff

Shami brillin the first inn, Ashwin and Jadeja were abso🐟lutely brilliant with the ball both innings, and then Axar Parel and Ashwin got India back into the match with a valiant partnership.— VVS Laxman (@VVSLaxman281)

The reason behind India's home dominance is simple.
Our quicks out-bowl their quicks.
Our spinners out-bowl their spinners.
