The 2008 home Test against Australia in Nagpur was an easy win for India. The then-captain MS Dhoni won the toss and India posted 441 in the first innings. Jason Krejza, who was making his debut for Australia in the match, took eight wickets in the first innings and another four in the second innings.

The best moment for Jason Krejza came in the second innings when he dismissed VVS Laxman with a turning delivery. In a recent interaction with ESPNCricinfo�s The Cricket Monthly, Jason Krejza recalled how Michael Clarke told Australia captain Ricky Ponting to back him.
Jason Krejza then spoke about the wicket of Laxman, saying that he thinks the delivery was just a fluke. Jason Krejza bowled a beautiful off-break delivery at 83kph which dislodged the stumps behind Laxman.
Despite Jason Krejza�s 12-wicket haul, India won the Test comfortably. The off-spinner went on to play only one more Test after that, ending his career with 13 wickets in total
