Unbeaten 89 by Pant helps India to a 3-wicket win over Australia in 4th Test, India win series 2-1

[jnaveen1980]

If he had gotten out after another 50 runs it would have been great

 

[Ab Fan]

Well played Gill!

 

[JaDed]

Gill is so disappointed

 

[hur rizvi]

Excellent innings from Gill comes to an end. Keep working kid and you'll break lots of batting records this decade

 

[Devadwal]

That's nasty .omg what is happening

 

[90MPH]

Pujara is not going to survive this barrage

 

[andy0204]

They need to call us to play 4-5 tests to boost their performance in the process of awarding some big innings defeats.

I think they are touring Pakistan next year but that's too late.

 

[Devadwal]

Don't think he will bAt again

 

[hur rizvi]

Here is the chance for Aus to win now.

India might have to self destruct for Aus to win otherwise they look completely shot mentally and physically

 

[Varun]

Ouch.

 

[sharmaji]

Oh no! Back to square one.

 

[Abhilash93]

Hope that is not a fractured finger like Jadeja

 

[Varun]

That's a broken finger for sure.

Retire hurt, Pujara.

 

[DeadBall]

Kya liya Gill beta.

Should've sent Pant. Anyways draw pakka now.

 

[Buffet]

This is what happens with uneven bounce. Many teams have lost test from this stage.

 

[Khan12]

Deserved a 100. A flawless innings.

 

[Buffet]

India might have to self destruct for Aus to win otherwise they look completely shot mentally and physically

It won't be easy, but Aus has opened the door now. If Pujara can not bat then it will become easier for Aus.

 

[DeadBall]

IPL kai liye koi bacha bhi hai kai nahi

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Kya liya Gill beta.

Should've sent Pant. Anyways draw pakka now.

Stop jinxing man

 

[Buffet]

It has been one of the best test series in history.

2nd last session of the series with 4 tests and still 3 results are possible. Most likely is draw here, but still.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This is what happens with uneven bounce. Many teams have lost test from this stage.

Yep. It's just the bounce has become too inconsistent now. Australia are just too damn lucky to win 3 tosses in a row now.

 

[Varun]

Oh look an Indian injury has been miraculously cured!

 

[Napa]

191 runs required in 51 overs... that's about 3.8 pro. Not impossible

 

[JaDed]

191 runs required in 51 overs... that's about 3.8 pro. Not impossible

Bas karde bhai just need a draw..

 

[DeadBall]

Stop jinxing man

You can't jinx if you have pure intenshuns.

 

[andy0204]

191 runs required in 51 overs... that's about 3.8 pro. Not impossible

Not going to happen if Pujara and Rahane are on the crease.

 

[Buffet]

India has survived half of the total overs.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Not going to happen if Pujara and Rahane are on the crease.

We need them on the crease at least till the end of this session

 

[Buffet]

191 runs required in 51 overs... that's about 3.8 pro. Not impossible

India is not going for it. Pant would have come if they were trying to chase it.

 

[Devadwal]

Looks out
Edit - not out & review lost

 

[DeadBall]

India I think will win but the following needs to happen

a 100-120 qucikfire (ish) Rohit/Gill partnership to counter the Pujara/Rahane incoming tuk tuk
Pujara/Rahane to score the most amount of runs they can using the least amount of possible balls, ideally they both score 30s at a "quick" 40 SR.
Pant plays his usual game, scores a 60 odd at 60-70 SR with Sundar and Thakur to see them home.

However if Pant fails then they should just close shop like the last time and go for the draw.

So far things are going to plan, although Gill had to play for both himself and Rohit.

 

[Varun]

191 runs required in 51 overs... that's about 3.8 pro. Not impossible

Pujara can barely strike at 1 an over.

Hallway down the pitch..

 

[RajBan]

Bas karde bhai just need a draw..

Yep. Pujara can go back to what he was doing before lunch. Just play out. Gill would have kept the score board ticking and things would have remained exciting. But with him out it is less than 10% chance for getting to the target. Rahane and Pujara should be clear now that we need to play out just like what Vihari and Ashwin did last test.

Shows what we missed in the Adelaide test.

 

[MP2011]

Warne still blabbering about us going for it.

 

[MP2011]

Pujara hit again

 

[Varun]

The heck is happening to Pujara!?

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

India is not going for it. Pant would have come if they were trying to chase it.

Maybe they're saving Pant for the final session.

 

[Devadwal]

Pujara is playing one of the ATG inning whoever don't agree just get lost .its my opinion

 

[Varun]

Our team physio deserves a 200% pay rise.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Pujara is playing one of the ATG inning whoever don't agree just get lost .its my opinion

Agree with you man..

 

[Devadwal]

India is not going for it. Pant would have come if they were trying to chase it.

Just forgot about winning now its Hercules task to even draw the game

 

[Buffet]

Maybe they're saving Pant for the final session.

If they have wickets and 20 overs left then they can go for it.


Pujara has taken so many blows....

 

[Cric1234]

Pujara is resolute but too slow he should’ve been well past 50 by now and India would be on course for a win.

 

[DeadBall]

Is Pujara paid extra for every hit he takes?

 

[MP2011]

Well done Pujara. Great man to have in your XI.

 

[Dingolfy]

Our team physio deserves a 200% pay rise.

For having half the team injured? Certainly not. He and the trainer should be answerable for so much injuries.

 

[Devadwal]

Big turn

 

[MP2011]

That one turned square.

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Why is Pujara taking these blows instead of ducking out of bouncers? Not like he's trying to score off any of them.

 

[Dingolfy]

Pujara is resolute but too slow he should’ve been well past 50 by now and India would be on course for a win.

Thats never been his natural game. And on this pitch, you need one guy to play the anchor.

 

[wrongun]

I'm backing the draw at this point.

Only way for Oz to win is Lyon to play a blinder.

Quicks can batter Pujara all day but he won't go away.

 

[MP2011]

Just don't let Lyon get to 400 test wickets in this series.

 

[Buffet]

Wow, what a turn.

 

[Dingolfy]

Why is Pujara taking these blows instead of ducking out of bouncers? Not like he's trying to score off any of them.

May be he wants to waste some time with physio coming out and checking him?

 

[DeadBall]

For having half the team injured? Certainly not. He and the trainer should be answerable for so much injuries.

Why would the physio be answerable for injuries? Thats like saying doctors are responsible for heart attack patients who eat too much fat and sugar.

 

[Varun]

Warne still delusional that we are looking to chase this.

 

[Devadwal]

Pls don't take risky single or double

 

[wrongun]

Why is Pujara taking these blows instead of ducking out of bouncers? Not like he's trying to score off any of them.

He has a poor technique for the short ball. He has the classic "modern player with helmet" technique where he has the forward press instead of the back & across. So the result is nice positioning for pitched up deliveries & can even rock back to cut but no way ready to duck a bouncer properly.

If you are extremely quick handed like a Pietersen with this technique you can hook off the front foot but Pujara isn't that agile.

 

[Buffet]

Why is Pujara taking these blows instead of ducking out of bouncers? Not like he's trying to score off any of them.

He taking a blow when he is not able to judge. He does not want to put bat anywhere.

 

[Cric1234]

Thats never been his natural game. And on this pitch, you need one guy to play the anchor.

Hes playing at less than 20 strike rate and the target isn’t out of reach as a top order batsmen he should be Scoring quicker Gill had a strike rate of 60 and didn’t look troubled.

 

[TNAmarkFromIndia]

Rahane 11 (9). Playing for a win?

 

[Dingolfy]

Why would the physio be answerable for injuries? Thats like saying doctors are responsible for heart attack patients who eat too much fat and sugar.

I believe the physio of sports team along with the trainer does some preventive maintenance also. Doctors would held responsible if the patient who has been hospital for one month has had an increase in cholestrol and sugar levels if they have been only eating hospital food.

 

[pillionrider]

Warne still delusional that we are looking to chase this.

I really believe we are going for this

 

[DeadBall]

Warne still delusional that we are looking to chase this.

another 40 runs and its very possible.

 

[Devadwal]

But one things is sure if they making runs then Australia will think about saving runs ( i know we r not winning) that's where some edge my find vacant places

 

[Dingolfy]

Hes playing at less than 20 strike rate and the target isn’t out of reach as a top order batsmen he should be Scoring quicker Gill had a strike rate of 60 and didn’t look troubled.

So? He played the same way in the 2018 series and won that for us. This is test cricket not T20 to go guns blazing on a fifth day pitch with uneven bounce.

 

[Cric1234]

The best way edge one over the slips if you can’t score another way.

 

[Abhilash93]

Warne trying to make the case that Australia's lack of wickets is mostly due to luck favouring the Indian batsmen.

 

[JaDed]

would hate it if Lyon becomes the hero today

 

[JaDed]

Warne trying to make the case that Australia's lack of wickets is mostly due to luck favouring the Indian batsmen.

He has been garbage as a commentator this series

 

[Buffet]

would hate it if Lyon becomes the hero today

He is turning big.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Warne trying to make the case that Australia's lack of wickets is mostly due to luck favouring the Indian batsmen.

yea.. it was weird. They hardly troubled Gill.

 

[DeadBall]

I believe the physio of sports team along with the trainer does some preventive maintenance also. Doctors would held responsible if the patient who has been hospital for one month has had an increase in cholestrol and sugar levels if they have been only eating hospital food.

Are the national team physios the same for the IPL?

 

[Cric1234]

So? He played the same way in the 2018 series and won that for us. This is test cricket not T20 to go guns blazing on a fifth day pitch with uneven bounce.

Scoring more now looks set up for an exciting finish.

 

[angrypathan]

46 overs to get 175, they've got to go for it from here

 

[Varun]

He has been garbage as a commentator this series

Just this series??

The motormouth is just doing what he does best.
