India easily defeated Australia in the first test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to take command of the latest World Test Championship Table.
Needing just 7 wickets on the fourth day, India navigated a spirited challenge by Travis Head to win the fixture by 295 runs registering one the biggest wins in test cricket history. The two side’s will take on each other on December 6th as the hosts look to bounce back in the series.
