India won the second test match against Australia by 75 runs. After setting a target of 188, India rode on Ravichandran Ashwin’s spin to dismiss the Steve Smith’s men for 112. The four-match series is now level at 1-1. The ace spinner took 6 wickets for 41 runs. This is India's ninth win this season, but might taste the sweetest after the crisis they found themselves in.

"It was not coming out of the hand all right. I was trying to turn it too hard. One good thing I did was when wickets were not coming, I kept the runs down. We just spoke inside the dressing room to bowl some short spells and keep changing over. That is why we were rotating so we could attack through such short balls," says R Ashwin.
