New Delhi: India completed a series whitewash of Australia as Cheteshwar Pujara led them to a comprehensive six-wicket victory over the visitors in the fourth and final cricket Test here today.




Australia has never been whitewashed in a five-Test series and only once in a four-Test series in 136 years of Test cricket. Their only such whitewash was in the series against South Africa in South Africa in 1970.

Led by Bill Lawry, it was a strong team which included Ian Chappell, Doug Walters, Keith Stackpole, Ian Redpath, Graham McKenzie, Ashley Mallett, John Gleeson and Brian Taber.

A month earlier Lawry's men had defeated India 3-1 in India in 1969.
