  3rd Test match (18 Mar - 22 Mar)

Australia were all out for 391, not a big score batting first on a pitch that was taking turn. All credit going to the young Harbhajan Singh who has made a clear difference to the Indian attack. Nobody was even talking about the absence of Anil Kumble as Harbhajan was proving to be a big match winner. He finished with the remarkable figures of 38.2-6-133-7. The other spinners, Nilesh Kulkarni (23-5-67-0), Sairaj Bahutule (21-3-70-1) and Tendulkar (16-1-35-0) hardly made any impression on the Aussie batsmen. Harbhajan proved the point that his performance in Kolkata was not just the 'flash in the pan'. India do have a match winner in him.
