Australia would be hoping that they eke out a draw as a defeat would be quite humiliating, especially after a convincing performance in the 3rd Test match at Indore. All eyes would be on Travis Head as the batter has to play responsibly as there is uncertainty regarding Usman Khawaja’s participation in the 2nd innings.

Sunil Gavaskar on Virat Kohli
Sunil Gavaskar was having an interaction with Star Sports and was asked about Virat Kohli’s Test century.
“Every great batter thinks about a hundred. A century is the minimum price he keeps for his wicket. The way Kohli was batting in the last two-and-a-half years when he didn’t score a century, he was batting well, scored seven or eight fifties.” said Sunil Gavaskar.

“So it never seemed that he was out of form. The only thing that was happening was that he was getting out on his first mistake. It was like how a Test match century should be constructed. He started slightly slowly, where he was trying to figure out the pitch and the bowling. Then he played a few shots after getting set and tried to play even more shots after he had scored a century.” he added.
Concerns for Australia
The Aussies have been on the field for 178.5 overs where they would be exhausted & tired. It would be quite tough for the visitors to score runs on a spicy wicket as Ashwin & Jadeja almost took a wicket in the short phase of Australia’s 6 overs where they scored 3 runs.
Skipper Steve Smith was in a similar position in the 2017 BGT Ranchi Test match where Peter Handscomb & Shaun Marsh bailed out the Aussies on a treacherous pitch on Day 5. The morning session would be quite crucial for the visitors as if India pick 3-4 wickets in the session, then the visitors would be in deep trouble.
