Chasing a massive victory target of 441, India scored just two more runs in their second innings to capitulate inside three days at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, making its debut as a test centre. "I'm really proud of the way the boys have performed in this test match," Australia captain Smith said. Spin colleague Nathan Lyon provided able support, picking up the other four wickets in India's innings for 53 runs. Earlier in the day, Smith capitalised on India's sloppy fielding with a brilliant century to help his team make 285 in their second innings after the visitors had resumed on 143 for four. Smith, the world's top-ranked test batsman, was eventually out leg before to left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja for 109 after he compiled his 18th test ton to guide Australia to a winning advantage.
