Six most memorable India Test matches in history

6. Australia v India, 3rd Test 2008, Perth – India won by 72 runs

The backdrop of the third Test match at Perth saw the Indians threatening to pull out of the tour courtesy of some horrific umpiring in the previous Test at Sydney. The fact that the Indians pulled-off a win in the match itself was something impressive in itself.

Playing on the fastest wicket in the world, the Indians began their journey back to the top of the world with some fantastic cricket. Rahul Dravid came to the fore with some phenomenal batting in both innings while RP Singh, Irfan Pathan, and Ishant Sharma also came to the fore with some outstanding bowling.

Chasing a target in excess of 400 runs was always going to be difficult on a wicket that was offering pace and swing for bowlers. Thus, in the face of adversity, the Indians claimed an impressive 72-run win, something that salvaged some pride in a controversial series.
