Spin duo fire India to victory
Harbhajan Singh claimed four wickets and Amit Mishra picked up three as India completed a 172-run victory in the fourth Test to clinch the Border-Gavaskar trophy with a 2-0 series triumph in Nagpur.
Paceman Ishant Sharma struck two early blows in the morning session, getting rid of Simon Katich (16) and Michael Clarke (22), while leg-spinner Mishra, who had run out Ricky Ponting for eight in the morning, returned to pick up the wickets of Michael Hussey (19), Brad Haddin (four) and Jason Krejza (four) as India condemned the Baggy Greens to their first defeat since England's Ashes triumph in 2005.
Matthew Hayden struck a defiant 77 but was trapped lbw by his old rival Harbhajan, who also sent back Shane Watson (nine), Brett Lee (zero) and last man Mitchell Johnson (11).
India's chairman of selectors Krishnamachari Srikkanth said afterwards: "Australia are the number one team in the world and what I like about this victory is that India beat them fair and square.
"This is not a typical Indian turning wicket, but a pretty placid track which has been pretty good for batting. In Mohali it was a flat track too and we beat them comprehensively.
"Considering the circumstances and the condition of the wicket, I think we beat them very well."
