India saw off Australia by 137 runs in the third Test in Melbourne to take a 2-1 lead in the series.
The hosts began the final day on 258-8 chasing an unlikely 399, but after rain delayed the start, India needed only 4.3 overs to wrap up the win.
Jasprit Bumrah, who took career-best match figures of 9-86, had Pat Cummins edge to slip for 63, before Nathan Lyon gloved Ishant Sharma behind.
The fourth and final Test starts in Sydney on 2 January.
Bumrah’s haul was the best by an India pace bowler in Australia.
