India complete Australia whitewash

Posted by Undercover 999 on Sunday, 24 March 2013

India completed a 4-0 series whitewash over Australia after winning the fourth Test in Delhi by six wickets. The hosts bowled Australia out for 164 as Ravindra Jadeja took five wickets, allowing Cheteshwar Pujara to help seal the win with an unbeaten 82. Spinner Nathan Lyon continued Australia's fightback earlier in the day, limiting India to 272 with a career-best 7-94. But only Peter Siddle's 50 offered any further resistance as India reached the 155-run target with four wickets in nd. Lyon picked up where he left off on day two with the wickets of Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli in India's second innings to take his total to nine for the Test. But the defeat ended a miserable series for the tourists, who dropped four of their players for the third Test, including vice-captain Shane Watson for a breach of team discipline. It is also the first time that Australia have lost a series 4-0 since a defeat by South Africa in 1970.
