Michael Clarke [ Images ]
Who else?
Having made a magnificent 130 in the first innings in Chennai, he missed out in the second (31), a beauty from R Ashwin cutting short his stay at the crease.
However, in Uppal he was in top gear from the start.
Having come out to bat at a time when his team were reeling after a top order collapse, Clarke did his bit.
Take his 91 out and the Australia [ Images ] total (237-9 declared) will make for a pathetic reading.
En route to registering his 26th Test fifty, his sixth against India [ Images ], Clarke also added 145 runs for the fifth wicket with Matthew Wade (62), the only notable partnership for the visitors, and one that gave the Australian total a semblance of respectability.
