In the case of KL Rahul, it can be said that the decision has almost been made. Gill, who was left out of the team in the third Test as a liability to the team due to his poor form, is bringing India closer to the Australian score by scoring a stunning century. At the end of tea, India had scored 188 runs for the loss of 2 wickets. Rohit (35) and Pujara (42) are out. Kohli and Gill who scored 103 remain at the crease without taking any runs.
The Australian bowlers had nothing to do as Gill played brilliantly from the start of the innings. Pujara fell just before tea, but India had recovered by that time.
India, who played without fear of the big target raised by Australia from the beginning, if they continue to bat in this way, it does not seem that there will be much difficulty in reaching the Australian score. But the pitch is helping the spinners better than yesterday.
The Indian bowlers were unable to put any pressure on Australia, who started batting on the second day yesterday with the loss of 255 runs for the loss of four wickets, in the first section and in the second half of the section. Rohit Sharma tried alternate bowlers to break the Khawaja-Green partnership but nothing worked. Then in the last lap of the second section, the wicket gods appeared in the form of Ashwin and wickets started falling. Meanwhile, Khawaja got out following scoring 180 runs. Ashwin was brilliant with 6 wickets on a pitch that didn’t particularly help the spinners in any way.
