DHARAMSALA, India (Reuters) - India opener Lokesh Rahul's elegant fifty and stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane's quickfire 38 not out secured a series-clinching eight-wicket romp in the fourth and final test against Australia on Tuesday.

Wrapping up the win appeared a formality for India when their openers walked out at the picturesque venue nestled in the shadows of the Himalayas needing just 87 runs to seal the series 2-1 with all 10 second innings wickets intact.
