India were set a target of 364 to win the Test and create history by chasing a record total on Australian soil. India were comfortably placed at 205/2, requiring 158 more runs to win the Test in 37 overs. Virat Kohli, the skipper took the bold decision to chase down the target by attacking the Australian bowlers.
However while chasing, the Indian batting crumbled, and after Kohli's dismissal for 141 runs, the entire batting line up collapsed and India were bowled out for 315 runs, losing the Test by 63 runs.
India lost 8 wickets in a session and the star for Australia was Nathan Lyon, who picked up 7 Indian wickets in the 4th innings. Though Kohli was given a standing ovation by the Adelaide crowd, the skipper was really disappointed that he could not take India over the finishing line. Australia went on to win the 4 match Test series 2-0.
