In the final match, Australia faced a challenging target of 162 runs on a pitch that provided unexpected bounce and movement. Despite a shaky start, they managed to clinch the win by six wickets, with Travis Head remaining unbeaten on 34 and Beau Webster finishing his debut Test with 39 not out. Their partnership of 58 runs for the fifth wicket proved crucial in steering Australia to victory.
The series featured remarkable individual performances, including Steve Smith joining the elite club of players with over 10,000 Test runs, alongside legends like Ricky Ponting and Steve Waugh. Usman Khawaja and Head played vital roles in stabilizing the innings during a tense period before lunch in the fifth Test. India's bowling attack, led by Mohammed Siraj, made breakthroughs but was hampered by the absence of Jasprit Bumrah due to back spasms.
Australian captain Pat Cummins credited the team's success to their belief in their abilities and their focus on the game, blocking out external distractions. The SCG pitch was praised for its balance, providing opportunities for both batters and bowlers, a sentiment echoed by India coach Gautam Gambhir.
The series also had its share of drama, including a confrontation involving India's players and Australia's Sam Konstas, which Gambhir described as part of the sport's competitive nature. Cummins defended Konstas, highlighting his confidence and contributions throughout the series. This victory marks Australia's first series win against India since the 2014-15 season and secures their place in the World Test Championship Final against South Africa at Lord's in June.
