India wins back Border-Gavaskar Trophy


India capped a tight bowling display to record a crushing 172-run victory over Australia in the fourth and final Test and wrap up the series 2-0 in Nagpur.

Australia was bowled out for 209 on the final afternoon as they chased an unlikely 382 to suffer their first Test series defeat since the 2005 Ashes in England.

It was also India's first Test series win over Australia in seven years as they clinched the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Indian fast bowler Ishant Sharma was named man of the series.
