India defeated Australia by eight wickets on the fifth and final day of the first Test that was played at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Needing a mere 50 runs to wrap the match up, India lost the wickets of its openers Murali Vijay and Virender Sehwag before batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar smashed two sixes to bring a quick end to what was already an inevitable result.
