India beat Aussies at own game, says Gavaskar
Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar told Grandstand India's 2-0 series win illustrates it can match Australia's renowned aggressive approach.
India wrapped up the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with an emphatic 172-run win against Australia in the fourth and final Test in Nagpur, having previously triumphed by 320 runs in Mohali last month.
It is India's first outright series win since defeating Australia 2-1 in 2001.

Gavaskar, whose name adorns the perpetual trophy alongside former counterpart Allan Border, says India won because it refused to be intimidated by Australia.
"They've always been at the Australians and pretty much kind of played the cricket that the Australians play," he said.
"So, obviously they learned a lot from the Australians."
Gavaskar, a 125-Test veteran, says he feels Australia has struggled to feel the void left by the retirements of bowling greats Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath following the 2006/07 Ashes series.
