Smart स्ताट्स ऑफ़ इंडिया ऑस्ट्रेलिया Series

The last time Australia failed to win a Test in a series was against New Zealand in 2001-02, when all three Tests were drawn.
Australia lost by a difference of two Tests for the first time since their 3-1 defeat against West Indies in the Frank Worrell Trophy in 1988-89.
Sachin Tendulkar became the 27th player (apart from wicketkeepers) to take 100 catches in Tests.
Ishant Sharma, who took 15 wickets in the series, became the first Indian fast bowler to top the wickets tally for India in a Test series at home since Javagal Srinath's tally of 12 in the two-Test series against Zimbabwe in 2000-01.
Australia's aggressive intent today marked a turnaround from their performance on the third day, when they managed 166 runs. Their batsmen were constantly on the look out for runs leaving alone only 35 deliveries in over 48.5 overs, as opposed to 65 in a single session on the third day.
The Australians scored 27 runs off 20 balls with the sweep shot, and 27 off 25 with the cut.. With the leg glance, they scored 47 off 41.
