Indian Cricket Team asserted their dominance over Australia on the 3rd Day of the 4th Test match. India scored 289-3 in 99 overs where Shubman Gill smashed a scintillating ton. Virat Kohli has looked untroubled where he has shown immense mental application where the oddball was keeping low. Virat Kohli scored 59 runs in 128 balls where he struck 5 fours & has looked like a man on a mission.

It was hard work for the Aussie bowlers where the pitch didn’t deteriorate which was quite surprising. Nathan Lyon was seen bowling long spells where Indian batters played cautiously & made sure that they rotate strike on a consistent basis. Cameron Green & Mitchell Starc were taken to the cleaners.

Head coach Rahul Dravid achieved this feat in 88 innings whereas legendary batter Sunil Gavaskar scored in 87 innings. Virender Sehwag is the fastest to attain the milestone in 71 innings whereas Sachin Tendulkar had scored 4000 runs in 78 innings.

Exciting Day 4 on Cards

If Australia get 3-4 wickets in the morning session then they would sense that they have a chance to square the BGT 2023 . Steve Smith’s captaincy would be tested as the pitch hasn’t deteriorated by any means. Smith needs to use the duo of  Mitchell Starc & Nathan Lyon in the morning session as the duo can create some sort of panic.

A billion people would hope that the star batter Virat Kohli smashes his century as he hasn’t scored a ton since 2019. Virat Kohli would be aware of the fact that he needs to play an attacking brand of cricket to give themselves any chance of winning the Test match.
