In December opening batsman 13Australia Bill Brown became the first test batsman to run out for backing up too far at the end of the non-striker. Indian Vinoo Mankad made the polyvalent run-out, and the mode of dismissal came to be known as ' mankaded '. This happened only six times more in international cricket.
Mankad had dismissed Brown in this way previously in a tour game too, but had offered the batter a warning. In the test match, was not offered no such courtesy. The incident caused a small controversy. The Aussie media named Mankad unsporting Act. Others, such as Australia Captain Don Bradman said that mankad was within his rights to do so.
Australia took the series 4-0 with Bradman making 715 runs. One of the highlights of India about the tour was 116 of Vijay Hazare in day 3 and day 4 at 145.
