Australia beat India in the final hour of the fourth Test in Melbourne to take a 2-1 lead in a dramatic series.
India required 340 to win at the start of the final day and looked on course to secure a draw as they reached tea time with just three wickets to spare.
But Rashib Pant was out to Mitchell Marsh on the Travis Head boundary, the first of seven wickets to fall for 34 runs as they collapsed to 155 all out.
Tabat (30) and opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was clearly unhappy when the third umpire ruled that Pat Cummins had gloved wicketkeeper Alex Carey for 84, provided the main resistance.
But no other Indian batsman reached double figures as they slumped to a 184-run defeat.
Scott Boland struck twice before Nathan Lyon ended the innings when he earlier covered leg-side to Mohammed Siraj as the last three wickets fell for five runs in three overs.

Cummins: One of the best tests I’ve ever taken
Australian captain and Test player Pat Cummins.
“What an amazing Test match, I think one of the best I’ve been in. The crowd was ridiculous all week and it was amazing to be a part of.
“Winning on the first day was great. We wanted to take India’s win out of the equation. We had as many wickets around as we could.
“Steve (Smith’s) amazing innings just showed how to hit that wicket. He was brilliant and some handy catches that sometimes go unnoticed at slips.
“We’ve done a lot of work on our lower-order batting, how best to tackle the opposition, but also how we can contribute with the bat. There, it can help us come out of a very happy dressing room, we’ll enjoy this before we get to Sydney “.
Indian captain Rohit Sharma.
“It’s quite disappointing, it’s not like we came in with the intention of quitting, we wanted to fight until the end and unfortunately we couldn’t do that.
“It will be difficult to evaluate only the last two sessions. If you look at the test game as a whole, we had our chances but didn’t take them. We had Australia 90-6.
“We know things can be tough but we want to play tough cricket from tough situations. I don’t want to look at one situation.
“We weren’t good enough. I went back to my room and thought what else we could have done as a team. But they fought hard, especially the last shield partnership.
“We knew 340 was not going to be easy. We tried to put the wickets in hand in the last two sessions. We wanted to reach the target but we didn’t get the platform. There are ways to win games , and we’ve been lacking in finding ways to win games.”
