India eked out a comprehensive 295-run victory in the first Test after it bowled out Australia for 238 in their second innings on the fourth day here yesterday.
India is leading the five-match series 1-0 with the thumping win.
It was just a matter of time before India completed formalities once Australia was bundled back to 227 for eight at tea. The hosts, chasing 534, folded soon after the break.
Travis Head (89) and Mitchell Marsh (47) showed fight in an otherwise underwhelming batting performance by the hosts. Alex Carey (36) was the last man to be dismissed.
Three wickets fell in the afternoon session after Mohammed Siraj reduced Australia to 104 for five at lunch.
India made a remarkable comeback after getting bowled out for 150 on the opening day as Australia were limited to 104 in response.
The second test starts in Adelaide on December 6
