| India denied Australia a record 17th straight victory by dismissing them for 340 to win the third Test by 72 runs.
Resuming on 65-2, chasing 413, the hosts did well to only lose Ricky Ponting (45) on the fourth morning.
But Mike Hussey (46), Andrew Symonds, Adam Gilchrist and Brett Lee fell to make it 243-7 at tea, while Anil Kumble had Michael Clarke (81) stumped.
Mitchell Johnson (50no) shared 73 with Stuart Clark (32) but India persevered to cut their series deficit to 2-1.
It ended the home side's hopes of surpassing the 16 consecutive victories achieved by Steve Waugh's Aussies between 1999-2001.
The defeat was their first since the thriller at Trent Bridge against England in 2005, and their first on home soil since India beat them in Adelaide in 2003.
And the tourists will now fancy their chances of completing their fightback in the finale at the same South Australia venue and emulate the series draw they achieved that time.
That is a remarkable prospect considering the acrimony and soul-searching which followed their controversial defeat in Sydney.
