In Sydney, Indian batsmen Hanuma Vihari and Ravichandran Ashwin are fighting to save the third Test. Cheteshwar Pujara (77) and Rishabh Pant’s (97) fantastic 148-run stand gave the Indians hope of an improbable win.
However, following their back-to-back dismissals, a draw is perhaps the best result for Team India. Interacting with 7Cricket, Sunil Gavaskar commended Pujara and Pant and advised India to play according to the situation.
“I am very proud of what this Indian team has done today” - Sunil Gavaskar
Sunil Gavaskar added that irrespective of the result, he is immensely proud of Team India for their staggering display of character and determination.
India were set a target of 407 - over 70 runs more than the highest total chased on the ground. In response, the visitors were 280-5 at Tea on Monday. The Aussies need five wickets to win, while the batting side need to play out 32 overs to pull off a remarkable draw.
