India persisted with their leg side trap at the start of Day 4 and kept the scoring down as Marnus Labuschagne, and Steve Smith only scored six runs off the first seven overs. Navdeep Saini made two breakthroughs, but India were already behind the eight ball by then as the lead had stretched to 276 runs by the end of the first session. Speaking on Sony Network, Ajay Jadeja said:
India would have made an early inroad in the first session but Hanuma Vihari dropped an easy catch at short square leg on the second ball of the day. Marnus Labuschagne was given a life, and he went on to score 73.
Glenn McGrath feels Australia needs three and a half sessions to bowl out India
World Cup winner Glenn McGrath also felt that Australia have enough runs on the board as he believed batting would be tough on Day 5. He talked about how much time Australia would need to bowl out India and said:
As things stand, India are staring down a defeat in the Sydney Test as Australia have set them a target of 407. India’s position is worsened by the fact that they could be without Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja in the second innings as both of them suffered respective injuries while batting earlier.
