Ashwin snared a match-winning 6-41 and Australia lost its last six wickets for 11 runs to be all out for 112. But a crucial 118-run fifth-wicket partnership between Cheteshwar Pujara (92) and Ajinkya Rahane (52) swung the momentum back to India. It was Ashwin's 25th five-wicket haul in test cricket, and he is quickest bowler to achieve this feat by doing so in 47 tests. Ashwin is also moved into joint-second with Harbhajan Singh for the most five-wicket hauls for India in test cricket. Many pundits expected India to sweep the four-test series but its run of 20 unbeaten tests at home ended in the upset loss to Australia at Pune.
