India beat Australia by 137 runs in the third cricket test at Melbourne on Sunday to take an unassailable 2-1 lead in the four-match series. India took a giant stride towards winning their first ever test series on Australian soil in seven decades. Chasing a stiff target of 399, Australia were all out for 261 in the post-lunch session.
After losing out the first session due to steady showers, Australia could only manage to add three runs to their overnight score of 258 for 8 as they were all out for 261 in 89.3 overs. Jasprit Bumrah was declared man of the match as India won their 150th Test.
Ishant Sharma 2 for 40 took the final wicket of Nathan Lyon as India registered its first win at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground in 37 years. The final test match is scheduled to start from January 3, 2019, at Sydney Cricket Ground.
