2018-19 India Tour of Australia Fourth Test @ SCG Jan 03-07,2019

India have played 11 Tests at Sydney and  India have won just one and lost five.
India was outplayed several times, losing by 144 runs in 1968-69 and by an innings in 1980-81, 1999-00, and 2011-12, while Australia dominated the drawn Test of 2014-15

India’s only win at the SCG came in 1977-78 against a side depleted by Kerry Packer. Bishan Singh Bedi (3/49) and Bhagwat Chandrasekhar (4/30) bowled out Australia for 131. At stumps on Day One India were 86 without loss, firmly in control.

Bedi eventually declared on 396/8, with six batsmen going past forty but nobody reaching eighty. Then EAS Prasanna took 4/51 as India won by an innings and 2 runs, at that point their biggest margin of victory overseas.
