CRICKET\\ Never in the 81-year-old Test history has India won more than two matches against Australia in a single series. But in March 2013, India and its able Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni crushed Australia 4-0. Chasing 155, Cheteswar Pujara made a calm unbeaten 82 to propel India to a six-wicket victory. At one go, Indians regained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and showed visions of better days for this young team to their millions of fans. Dhoni led the youngsters in his team in a stellar fashion, and the young names responded with aplomb. Virat Kohli made a hundred in Chennai and Dhoni conjured one of the best counter-attacking double centuries (224) in Test cricket.
