[[Australia]] batted first and with the century from [[Shane Watson]] makes a score of 428 runs. [[Zaheer Khan]] took five wickets . In reply India put 405 runs on the board giving the Aussies a lead of 23
runs. Australian second innings was reduced to 192 runs by good performance by all Indian bowlers. The target for India was 216 and it was not an easy task for Indian batsmen as Aussie bowlers troubled Indian batsmen with their pace attack and took quick wickets.

It was a perfectly scripted game for the Aussies. India had ended day 4 at 55 for 4 and they still needed 161 runs for a victory. The Australian pacers started afresh on the final day and India lost another four wickets for 48 runs. First [[Ishant Sharma]] shared a partnership of 81 runs with Laxman for the ninth wicket before [[Pragyan Ojha]] and Laxman completed one of the greatest comebacks in cricket. The duo added the required 11 runs and helped India win the match by one wicket.
