Ind vs Aus: Here are the interesting statistics that you need to know

India handed an 8-wicket drubbing to Australia in the series-deciding Test in Dharamsala on Tuesday. The victory was nothing less than incredible as the Indian Cricket Team showed enough perseverance throughout the 4th Test and thus they are enjoying the tag of the champions now.

 

The Indian cricket fans were worried as skipper Virat Kohli had pulled out of the 4th Test because of his shoulder injury. Critics were sceptical about Ajinya Rahane and his ability to lead these young Indian blokes. But Rahane put the critics in their place as he successfully and quite brilliantly led India to an outstanding victory in Dharamsala against an upbeat Australia side.
