Watch: Rohit Sharma, Rahul Dravid and Team India celebrate winning 2nd Test; Twitter reacts

India spinner Ravindra Jadeja returned career-best figures of 7-42 to lead Australia's hammering by six wickets inside three days Sunday to bring the hosts to a 2-0 Test series lead. Jadeja, a left-arm orthodox, teamed up with fellow spinner Ravichandran Ashwin to dismiss Australia for 113 in a morning session when the tourists’ batting imploded, thanks to an overused sweep shot on a tricky New Delhi pitch.

With 2-0 on the board, India has sufficient wins to make it to #WTC2023 final. Only wait is for SL to lose or draw one of its two Tests in NZ.

A 3-0 series win for India means even if SL wins 2-0 in NZ, India will still be in the final vs Australia. #IndvAus #SLvNZ

Since the start of 2013 India have played 44 Tests at home and have lost only two.

Let that sink in!#INDvAUS #INDvsAUS #AUSvsIND #AUSvIND
