The Indians finished the game on 269 for seven in their second innings and an overall lead of 232 runs.

The final day was dominated by India's dashing opener Virender Sehwag, who occupied the crease for more than five hours to make a brilliant 151.

Australia's vice-captain Adam Gilchrist capped his last day in test cricket with two catches to take his final career tally to 416 dismissals.
