Australia won a Test match for the first time since March’s ball-tampering controversy as they beat India in Perth to level the series at 1-1.
India, chasing 287 for victory, began the final day on 112-5 but were bowled out for 140 to lose by 146 runs.
Australia needed only 15 overs to wrap up the win – Tim Paine’s first since succeeding Steve Smith as captain.
“It’s a relief more than anything,” said Paine. “It’s taken a while with everything that’s happened.”
Australia struck in the sixth over of the final day, as Hanuma Vihari was caught off Mitchell Starc.
Rishabh Pant soon followed – miscuing a shot off Nathan Lyon, who finished with match figures of 8-106 – and India’s tail quickly wilted.
The next Test in the four-match series takes place in Melbourne, starting on Boxing Day.4125
