New Delhi: India leveled the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy series 1-1 with an incredible fight-back victory over Australia in Bengaluru following some exquisite work – with bat, ball and on-field – by the hosts.

The grit with which Virat Kohli and Co. were chasing this victory can very well be understood by Wriddhiman Saha's brilliant 'superman-esque' catch to dismiss Matthew Wade.

The wicketkeeper flew from his position to snap it up from the short leg where the ball had lobbed. (IND vs AUS - Full Coverage | As it happened | Report)

The dangerous Starc was later removed when a Ravichandran Ashwin straigher breached his defences.

Handscomb, a gritty customer needed support at the other end but there wasn't much that the Australian tailenders could have done on a surface like that.

Steve O'Keefe hung around for 10 balls before he got one from Jadeja that held its line.

Handscomb's patience gave away as he gave Saha the charge only to get a thickish edge to Saha as Ashwin completed his 25th five-wicket haul.

India finally completed a hard-earned win when Lyon was fooled by the flight and a simple return catch was all Ashwin needed to latch onto.

Earlier, Australia wrested the initiative with six wickets for 36 runs at the start of the fourth day with India being bowled out for 274 in their second innings.

Josh Hazlewood (6/67) and Mitchell Starc (2/74) were the wrecker-in-chiefs in the first session of the fourth day's play at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, cutting short India's second innings at 274 in 97.1 overs.
