IND vs AUS - 2nd Test @ Mohali Sachin Tendulkar looks to the heaven after becoming the leading run-getter in the Test Match Cricket history during the first day of the second Test match between India and Australia at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) stadium in Mohali on October 17, 2008. The little master was unbeaten on 13 at the end of the middle session, meaning he had to wait 20 minutes before resuming his innings in his quest for at least two more runs. He achieved it on the first ball after tea, gliding a full delivery to third man and pumping his fists as he took the runs. Paceman Zaheer Khan took three wickets in four balls on Tuesday to erase Australia's last, limited chances of forcing a draw and propel India to a comprehensive 320-run victory in the second cricket Test Dhoni was named man of the match for his run-scoring double of 92 and 68."The pleasing thing was that everybody contributed, there were five wickets to Amit Mishra, then Gautam Gambhir's innings," he said. "I was bit surprised (to be man of the match). It's good that it goes to someone from our side, it depicts that your side has had the upper hand." The first test in Bangalore was drawn and India will head to New Delhi for the third match starting Oct 29 looking to wrap up the series and regain the Border-Gavaskar trophy. Australia will have a three-day break between tests and Ponting said it was important for he and his players to "clear our minds." "We're not accustomed to being behind in a series, and not accustomed to doing so badly," he said. In Khan's next over he had Cameron White caught behind for 1 when he pushed at the ball outside off stump and was caught by Dhoni. It was Khan's second wicket in three deliveries and he added his third immediately by bowling Brett Lee. "Zaheer is bowling at his best," Dhoni said. "His commitment is great, he is fit, he bowls his heart out. His form is brilliant right now and hopefully he can continue it." "We've been under pressure and fighting from the start. They deserved to win, they outplayed us in every aspect," says Ponting When Haddin's stumps were shattered, so were Australia's hopes of saving the match after an 84-run partnership between Haddin and Michael Clarke The defeat was Australia's seventh-heaviest by runs and comes only a week after it missed opportunities to win the first test at Bangalore. India, which recorded its largest victory by runs over any opponent, leads the four-match series 1-0 and is seemingly in complete control in the subcontinental conditions.
