India's "breakthrough" against Australia

On 7th November, 1979  India created history clinching a marvelous series win against Australia.

This was the first time that India achieved this fate. Going into the match 0-1 down, Australia had to win to square the series, but Sunil Gavaskar and Chetan Chauhan closed the door with an opening partnership of 192. Gavaskar and Syed Kirmani made hundreds (Kirmani was only the third nightwatchman to do so in a Test), and the No. 9, Karsan Ghavri, iced the cake with a rumbustious 86 to take the score to 458. With no hope of victory, Australia subsided meekly. In the first innings only Graham Yallop (60) passed 25, in the second only Allan Border (61) and Kim Hughes (80) reached double figures, and India wrapped up victory by an innings and 100 runs, with a day to spare.
