Score or survive? The big fourth innings question

Hindustan Times  

When Tim Paine declared the second innings at the end of Cameron Green’s assault, the Australian captain had set India a fourth innings target of 407 runs—a figure that, if achieved, will break the country’s long-standing chase record of 406. After one, which ended Day 4, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood had already claimed two in India’s confident openers, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. In Kohli’s absence, Rishabh Pant is the only member of India’s playing eleven to have breached the three-figure mark in a fourth innings, home or away. Pujara was immediately selected for India’s next assignment, the 2010-11 tour of South Africa where a most interesting occurrence with regards to fourth innings chases was witnessed.
