Hazlewood in exclusive company with record haul

Josh Hazlewood has achieved something the likes of Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee and Mitchell Johnson never could to help bowl India out on day four of the second Test.

India were cruising at 4-238 on Tuesday before a scarcely-believable collapse of 4-8 in just nine deliveries.

The young Aussie's sixth scalp elevated him into some truly exclusive company in the record books.

Ray Lindwall, Alan Davidson, Graham McKenzie and Geoff Dymock are the only other Aussies to take six wickets in an innings in a Test in India.

Hazlewood's figures are the best by an Aussies in India since Dymock took 7-67 at Kanpur in 1979.
