4 Instances when India ended Australia's unbeaten streaks

India are first and only Asian team to win at WACA:

India have in the past also stopped Australia’s winning streak at another famed venue on their soil and it is at the WACA, Perth. Known to be one of the fastest wickets on the planet, the former international venue was another of Australia’s fortresses that visiting teams found difficult to penetrate. The Kangaroos played 44 matches at the WACA between 1970 and 2017 (when the last match was played) and won 25 of them (lost 11 while eight were drawn).

The West Indies and South Africa are the only other teams to have won more Tests at the WACA than lost (WI have five wins out of seven while two defeats and SA have won three out of four with one draw). Australia remained unbeaten in Tests at the WACA for 11 years after their 1997 loss to the West Indies when Courtney Walsh’s side hammered them by 10 wickets. They won eight out of 10 matches and drew two before taking on Anil Kumble’s India in January 2008.

Trailing 0-2, the Indians came back strongly in the third match in Perth to win by 72 runs to keep the series alive. India thus became the first Asian side and the only one to beat Australia at the WACA. Only five sides have managed to humble the Aussies at this ground and they include, besides the West Indies, India and South Africa, England and New Zealand. Pakistan and Sri Lanka have lost all their matches played here (five for Pakistan and two for the Lankans).
