India vs Australia: Shikhar Dhawan Hundred Was Brilliance At Its Best

This innings from Shikhar Dhawan will be talked about for a long time, make no mistake about that. The unstoppable 185, of which his hundred came off just 85 balls, a record of course, was breathtaking, dominating, awe-inspiring - you get the drift - and some more of the other adjectives that would be apt for such an occasion.

A century of sheer class from Shikhar Dhawan, helped India utterly dominate Australia on the third day of the third Test in Mohali.

India vs Australia Third Test Preview: Confident Hosts Look to Clinch Series Against Depleted Aussies

In real life, kicking someone when they are down is not something that would endear yourself to the masses. In sport, however, rubbing salt into an already gaping wound is exactly what is expected from a team that is on top. That scenario will be on view when India host Australia for the third Test in Mohali, with the visitors' camp in complete and utter disarray following the banishment of four players for not doing their "homework."

India Vs Australia 2nd Test: Can Dhoni's Men Pack Off Aussies on Tuesday?

It looks like defeat is inevitable for Australia as India has put up a huge first-innings lead on the third day of the second Test at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad.

It was just a matter of time really, and as expected India coasted to an eight-wicket victory over Australia in the first Test at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium. Cheteshwar Pujara hit the winning run, albeit in rather lucky circumstances with Mathew Wade dropping a catch and the deflection allowing India to scamper away for a run, after Australia set India a target of 50 to chase in the second innings.
