India vs Australia 1st Test: There is an interesting rivalry going on between India and Australia right now. This is the first game of a five-game series. At this point, India seemed close to victory and Australia seemed close to defeat. After being bowled out for just 150 in the first innings, India made a strong comeback and tightened their grip on the game. As of now, only three days into the match, the Indian team is dominating. From here Australia have to do something to win this game, something that has never happened to them so far. While the team was able to do this, it was quite difficult.
The match was declared over after India scored 487 runs.
India scored 487 runs in the second innings for the loss of 6 wickets and declared the innings. Captain Jasprit Bumrah called the innings after former India skipper Virat Kohli hit four to complete his century. Australia now need 534 runs to win from here. It was an almost impossible task in the fourth Test innings. The target is big, but the special thing is that such a big target has never been chased in Australia, so it is even more difficult for the host team.
I only chased over 400 points once
If we say earlier, in 2008, the biggest score chase was in the fourth innings of the Australia Test. South Africa then chased 414 runs at the WACA Stadium. From then until now, no one has ever chased such a big score. Not to mention 414, I can’t even catch up with the score of 400 points. This is a score of over 500 points.
India defeated Australia cheaply in the first innings.
India also performed well in the first innings against Australia and now if a similar situation happens again in the second innings then Australia will suffer a heavy defeat. With two full days left, India does not need to rush. Now, it remains to be seen whether the Australian batsmen will settle for a draw in this match or whether they will try to win the match. Currently, the Australian team is stuck at home and it is very difficult to get out.
