Former player Sunil Gavaskar had stated that India can’t win the fourth Test against Australia. The loss of early wickets and a big total posted by the hosts were the reasons behind Gavaskar’s prediction. However, it took him a day to change his stance.
After Nitish Kumar Reddy scored a hundred and cut down Australia”s lead to 116, the legendary commented that India have a chance to beat Australia if the rivals are bowled out for 120-127 in their second innings.
“India have a chance if they repeat the performance of the previous Test against Australia. They will have to make sure that Australia don’t go beyond 120-127 mark in their second innings and there is possibility of the bowlers achieving it. They did it the second innings in Brisbane. If India are given a target of around 240, they can chase it,” he said on Star Sports.
On the other hand, former Australia player Justin Langer is backing the Pat Cummins-led team to take India’s 11 wickets in the second innings and emerge victorious.
The series is levelled at 1-1, with India winning the series opener by 295 runs. Australia bounced back in the second contest, registering a 10-wicket victory. Tte third Test was a draw in Brisbane.
