Indian spinners are the best in the world..Proved
The Indian spinners reduced Australia to 202 for seven at the close, with Mitchell Johnson and Nathan Hauritz facing the task of extending a slender lead of 185 runs for the touring side who lost the first test by one wicket.
Captain Ricky Ponting made a defiant 72 to hold the innings together before falling to Zaheer Khan in the final session.
The tourists were let down by their top order which struggled against Indian spinners Pragyan Ojha and Harbhajan Singh.
Ojha removed in-form opener Shane Watson, Michael Clarke and Mike Hussey, while Harbhajan accounted for Simon Katich and Marcus North.
"I'm not satisfied. I will be satisfied if we can get them out early tomorrow and get those runs," Ojha told Neo Cricket channel.
"Whatever they got is gettable but we have to bat sensibly tomorrow. The wicket is turning," said the left-arm spinner.
India resumed on a commanding 435 for five and Sachin Tendulkar cruised to his sixth test double century before falling for 214.
Tendulkar, who hit two sixes and 22 fours, became debutant Peter George's first test victim when he dragged a delivery on to his stumps and Hauritz polished off the tail as India slumped to 495 all out.
"There was not much in this wicket, so we found other ways to create opportunity and take chances," George said.
"We have three wickets in hand, we'll try to get as many runs as possible tomorrow and bowl them out to win the match."

ICC Finalized Schedule of 2011 World Cup, India to Host Final
Mumbai: International Cricket Council's (ICC) World Cup Organising Committee, headed by former cricket board president Sharad Pawar, on Tuesday decided to shift the 2011 World Cup secretariat to Mumbai from Lahore, after Pakistan was stripped of their 2011 World Cup hosting rights by the ICC earlier this month due to security concerns.
India will host the final and one semi-final of the 2011 World Cup while Sri Lanka will stage the other semi-final, the tournament's organising committee decided in Mumbai on Tuesday. India will host 29 of the 49 matches across eight venues, Sri Lanka will host 12 in three venues while Bangladesh will stage eight at two grounds as well as the opening ceremony on February 18, 2011.
Bangladesh would host the opening ceremony of the 2011 World Cup as well as eight matches, which would be played on two venues, Lorgat said.
The 14 matches originally scheduled to take place in Pakistan have been redistributed with eight going to India, four to Sri Lanka and two to Bangladesh. The quarter-finals will be shared India and Sri Lanka one each while Bangladesh hosting two.
The ICC's decision has left India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh as the three sub-continental co-hosts of the mega event.
