New Delhi: ICC Test No. 1 bowler, Ravichandran Ashwin grabbed six wickets as India stopped Australia in their tracks to win a fiery second Test and level the series 1-1 on Tuesday.
Australia, needing 188 for victory, were bowled out for just 112 half-an-hour into the final session on day four at Bangalore`s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Tempers frayed between the world`s top two ranked sides as the hosts bounced back from a humiliating opening Test defeat in Pune. (IND vs AUS, 2nd Test - Full Coverage | As it happened | Report)
