India's under-fire cricketers succumbed to their second successive Test whitewash overseas after Australia humiliated them by 298 runs in the fourth and final Test to clinch the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in one of the most lopsided series in recent memory here today.
Chasing a mammoth 500 for a win, India's tailend resistance did not last long before the listless visitors were bundled out for 201 runs in 69.4 overs in their second innings to give the resurgent Australians an emphatic 4-0 series triumph.
The fifth and final day of the only Test that went the whole hog in the entire series started with Australia needing just four wickets to wrap it up in style and the home side took just 59 minutes to complete the formalities.
India, thus, suffered their eighth straight overseas defeat after having been whitewashed 0-4 in England last year.
Resuming at 166 for six, the Indians lasted 13-odd overs during which they added 35 runs before being bowled out for 201.
The famed but miserably out of form top order had failed the team yesterday itself and not much was expected of the tail that rarely wags.
It went perfectly to the script for the Australians, who were considered too inexperienced to handle the sheer weight of runs that the Indian batsmen brought with them at the start of the series.
But the sprightly home unit, under an in-form and shrewd Michael Clarke, turned the tables magnificently.
In fact, the result has left the much-vaunted batting trio of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman battling to save their career after failing to score a single hundred against an inexperienced but disciplined and spirited bowling attack.
Teams
Australia: Ed Cowan, David Warner, Shaun Marsh, Ricky Ponting, Michael Clarke (c), Michael Hussey, Brad Haddin (wk), Peter Siddle, Ryan Harris, Ben Hilfenhaus, Nathan Lyon.
India: Zaheer Khan, Umesh Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ishant Sharma, Virender Sehwag (c), Virat Kohli, Gautam Gambhir, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Wriddhiman Saha (wk).
