Australia eye a 27-year first by beating India in Sydney

The Melbourne Test win over India has put Australia just a step away from ending a 10-year wait to reclaim the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT), and it will also be a repeat of the kind of comeback the Aussies last made in 1997 to clinch a Test series.

Australia went 0-1 down after India won the opener in Perth by 295 runs but have since dominated the BGT holders. The hosts made it 1-1 by winning the pink-ball Test in Adelaide by 10 wickets and then pushed India to the wall in Brisbane before the visitors managed to eke out a draw.
