Pujara was flawless on his way to a double century

In Hyderabad, Australia won their second toss in a row and batted first once more. Barring skipper Clarke and the keeper Matthew Wade, no one spent time at the crease. The spinners Jadeja, Harbhajan and Ashwin accounted for a combined six wickets as Australia were bundled out for 237.

India were magnificent with the bat once again as they amassed 503 runs. It was Cheteshwar Pujara this time who scored a double century. Murali Vijay was the other stand out batsman who got 167 runs as the duo added 370 runs for the second wicket. Glenn Maxwell, who then played as a spinner in the team, took four wickets.

Australia trailed by 266 runs to begin their second innings and Ashwin ran all over them yet again. He picked up his third five-wicket haul in the series as the batsmen surrendered for a meagre 131. India won the match by an innings and 135 runs.
