So it was tough to chase even 150 as expected! They folded for much less!

This was only chance for Aussies, I don't think they can win this series:)
 
India v Australia, 2nd Test: Statistical highlights of Day 4

# With a win over Australia at Bangalore,
Virat Kohli is enjoying winning percentage of 64.00 - his tally being 16 wins, three defeats and six drawn games out of 25 Tests.

# India, with a 75-run win, have recorded their second successive win over Australia at Bangalore. In the last Test played at this venue, India had defeated Australia by 7 wickets in October 2010. Australia have won two Tests while the remaining two Tests out of six at this venue could not produce results.

# India have successfully defended a score of less than 190 in the fourth innings in Tests five times - three times against Australia - at Melbourne Cricket Ground in 1980-81; at Mumbai in 2004-05 and at Bangalore in 2016-17 and once each vs New Zealand at Mumbai (Brabourne Stadium) in 1969-70 and vs South Africa at Ahmedabad in 1996-97.

# India's win-margin by 75 runs is the third biggest for a team defending a target of less than 200 in the fourth innings - the best two are by 147 runs by West Indies vs England at Port of Spain in 1993-94 and by 89 runs by Australia vs South Africa at Melbourne 1910-11.

# Ravichandran Ashwin became the fourth Indian bowler to complete 200 wickets in Tests at home - his tally being 202 (ave.21.99) in 30 Tests. He has joined Anil Kumble (350), Harbhajan Singh (265) and Kapil Dev (219).

# Ashwin is averaging 19.21 in a winning cause in 27 Tests - his tally being 190 wickets, including 21 five-wicket hauls and six instances of ten wickets in a Test match.

# Ashwin has registered 25 instances of five wickets or more in an innings in 47 Tests, emulating Harbhajan Singh's feat of 25 instances in 103 Tests. Only one Indian bowler has recorded more such instances - 35 in 132 Tests by Anil Kumble.

# Ashwin has established a record for being the quickest to 25 five-wicket hauls - in 47 Tests - the fastest in Test cricket, outstripping
Richard Hadlee 's feat in 62 matches.

# Ashwin has taken his tally of wickets to 269 at 24.79 in 47 Tests, obliterating Bishan Singh Bedi's tally of 266 (ave.28.71) in 67 Tests. His aggregate is the fifth highest by an Indian bowler in Tests - the leading wicket-takers being Anil Kumble (619), Kapil Dev (434), Harbhajan Singh (417) and Zaheer Khan (311).

# Steven Smith 's captaincy record in Tests reads as - 12 wins and 6 losses apart from four drawn games out of 22 played - winning % 54.54.

# Australia lost six wickets for 11 runs - 101 for 4 to 112 all out - their joint third-fastest six-wicket collapse. Australia had earned a dubious distinction (an unwanted record) when they lost six wickets for five runs - 244 for four to 249 all out - vs England at Nottingham in June 1953.

# Ajinkya Rahane (52) has posted his third fifty vs Australia - his 11th in Tests. Apart from three fifties, he has also registered a hundred vs Australia in Tests - 147 at Melbourne in December 2014.

# Pujara and Rahane were involved in a stand of 118 - India's highest fifth-wicket partnership vs Australia at Bangalore, obliterating the 93 between Gundappa Viswanath and Yashpal Sharma in September 1979.

# The above partnership is India's second highest fifth wicket stand in Tests at Bangalore behind the 300-run stand between
Sourav Ganguly and Yuvraj Singh vs Pakistan in December 2007.

# The above partnership is the first century stand for any wicket in the present series.

# Lokesh Rahul has got his second Man of the Match award in Tests for recording consistent performance - 90 & 51. His first such award was against Sri Lanka for scoring 108 & 2 at Colombo (PSS) in August 2015.

# Josh Hazlewood (6/67) has recorded his best bowling figures in Tests, surpassing the 6 for 70 vs New Zealand at Adelaide in 2015-16.

# Hazlewood's second five-wicket haul vs India is his fifth in Tests. He had first captured a five-wicket haul in Tests vs India at Brisbane in 2014-15.

# Hazlewood's above performance is the joint fifth-best by an Australian fast bowler in Tests on Indian soil - the best being Ray Lindwall's 7 for 43 at Chennai in 1956-57.

# Nathan Lyon's career-best bowling figures of 8 for 50 are the best by an Australian bowler in a losing cause in Tests. In all, his figures are the fifth best in a losing cause in Tests - the best being Kapil Dev's 9 for 83 vs West Indies at Ahmedabad in 1983-84.

Ashwin eclipses Muralitharan, fastest to 25 Test five-fers

88 Innings taken by Ravichandran Ashwin to take 25 five-fers in Tests are the fewest by any bowler in the format's history. He is also the only one to do it in less than 100 innings. The previous quickest was Muttiah Muralitharan, who reached the landmark in exactly 100 innings. Among Indian bowlers, only Anil Kumble (35 in 132 Tests) has more five-wicket hauls than Ashwin while Harbhajan Singh has 25 from 103 games.

30 Test matches taken by Ashwin to reach 200 wickets at home - the fewest by any. Anil Kumble, who has 350 wickets in home Tests, took 35 Tests to get to 200. The other players for India with 200-plus wickets at home are Kapil Dev (219) and Harbhajan Singh (265).

269 Wickets taken by Ashwin in Tests - the fifth most by an Indian bowler. He went past Bishan Bedi's tally of 266 scalps. Among the 38 Indian bowlers with 50 or more wickets, Ashwin's 5.72 wickets per Test is the highest for any bowler, one wicket more per Test than the next best - 4.71 by Praghyan Ojha.

36 runs scored by Steve Smith in this Test is his fewest match tally against India. It is also only the second time he has failed to score fifty or more in at least one of the innings. His scores against India read: 92 & 5; 46 & 18; 162* & 52*; 133 & 28; 192 & 14; 117 & 71 and 27 & 109.

6 Nathan Lyon became the sixth bowler to take eight or more wickets in one innings and none in the other innings of the same Test. The others to achieve this distinction before him are Jack Noreiga, Ian Botham, Kapil Dev, Ravi Ratnayeke and Angus Fraser.

346 Runs scored by Karun Nair before his first-ball duck today - the first time he batted in the third or fourth innings of a Test. His scores before today read 4, 13, 303* and 26, all coming in the team's first innings. Only Sam Loxton of Australia had scored more runs before batting in a second innings - 376 - with scores of 80, 36, 93, 15, 101, 35 and 16.

8 for 50 by Nathan Lyon is the best figures for an Australian bowler in a losing cause, eclipsing Mitchell Johnson's 8 for 61 against South Africa at the WACA in 2008. Overall it is the fifth best figures for any team in a losing cause.

3 This was the third instance of a Test match which featured at least a six-fer in each of the four innings. The previous two came more than 100 years ago - England against Australia at the Oval in 1896 and at the MCG in 1902 .

87-run first-innings deficit conceded by India is the fourth biggest they have overcome to win a home Test. The top two instances also came against Australia - 274 in Kolkata in 2001 and 99 in Mumbai in 2004 . The third such instance was against West Indies in Delhi in 2011 (95 runs).

188 is the joint fourth-lowest target successfully defended by India in Tests. The top two instances also came against Australia - 107 in Mumbai in 2004 and 143 at the MCG in 1981. It was the 13th time Australia lost chasing less than 200, one behind the record of 14 held by England.

75 Winning margin for India - the third highest for any team defending a target of less than 200 in the fourth innings. West Indies won by 147 runs defending 194 against England at Port of Spain in 1994 while Australia won by 89 runs shielding 170 against South Africa at the MCG in 1910/11 .

The previous largest margin of victory for India defending a sub-200 target was 64 - against South Africa in Ahmedabad in 1996 .

Marsh will return home from the tour midway and will miss the Tests in Ranchi and Dharamsala. "Mitch Marsh will go back to Melbourne with his shoulder," Lehmann said. "We'll decide in the next day or so the replacement there, and then work out what our best XI is from there.
