Australia were dismissed for 240 runs in their second innings before lunch, after Mike Hussey and James Pattinson resumed on 179-8, with a lead of 230, on day four of the first Test at Melbourne, on Thursday.
Hussey, who survived a dropped catch on 69 by Dravid on day three, rode his luck to beat a big caught behind appeal down the leg side but was soon out for 89, feathering a catch to wicketkeeper Mahendra Singh Dhoni off a stinging Zaheer Khan delivery that moved away slightly.
Chasing 292 for victory, India's famed batting line-up failed to live up to their top billing as they were bowled out for 169 in 47.5 overs to lose the first Test by 122 runs.
