Nagpur: India thrashed Australia by an innings and 132 runs inside three days in the opening Test to take a 1-0 lead in the four-match series here on Saturday.
Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (5/37) returned with a five wicket haul as India
shot off Australia for 91 in 32.3 overs in their second innings just before tea.
Australia conceded a massive first innings lead of 223.
Bowling a probing length, Ashwin ran through the Australian top order and annexed his 31st fifer in just his 10th over, before Ravindra Jadeja (2/34), Mohammed Shami (2/13) and Axar Patel (1/6) completed the formalities.
