India lay down the gauntlet to Australia with 295-run thrashing

Completing a remarkable turnaround, India wrapped up a famous Test victory at Optus Stadium with a 295-run win over Australia in a one-sided result set to cause aftershocks in the latest tussle for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The result was a formality despite knocks from Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh. India's deserved victory was official after tea when Harshit Rana knocked over Alex Carey as they drew first blood in the five-match series.
