India still have a chance to make a comeback (PC: BCCI Twitter)
New Delhi.India’s condition has deteriorated badly in the final of the World Test Championship. India succumbed to Australia’s attack on the very second day. After seeing India’s batting, the competition is seen coming out of his hands. His journey ahead has become difficult. Australia’s team has put pressure on India. Although India’s hope is not yet completely over.
3 days of play left and Rohit Sharma’s army can still hit back at The Oval. She can write a new story of comeback. On the second day, Australia’s team was all out for 469 runs in the first innings. Steve Smith also scored a century after Travis Head. India’s trouble increased as soon as Australia crossed 400, but India had full faith in its top order. The Indian team came out to bat and in the form of Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli, 4 wickets fell for 71 runs.

try to avoid follow on
India almost fell behind in the competition. However, Ajinkya Rahane and Ravindra Jadeja shared a 71-run partnership to take the score to 142 runs. This partnership revived India’s hopes. India still has a chance to win the title. The road ahead for India may be difficult, but hope is not lost. To win after trailing, Team India will have to first try to avoid the follow-on. In such a situation, the third day is going to be very important for him. For this, he will have to score at least 120 more runs.
Brilliant against India ✅ Brilliant in England ✅ Brilliant at The Oval ✅

remember 2001 india
Ajinkya Rahane is standing at the crease after scoring 29 runs. He will have to try to stay at the crease for maximum time on the third day. Even if India had to play the follow-on, then it would have to avoid the previous mistakes in its second innings, because the match can be won even by playing the follow-on, which India has done against Australia in 2001. Playing the follow-on, India won by 171 runs. That means India can win despite playing follow on.

India needs a big partnership
India needs a big partnership. Exactly the same partnership as VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid did in 2001. There was a partnership of 376 runs between the two. India needs such a partnership at this time. Despite being behind, if India has to win, then the top order now has the last chance.
Top 4 last chance
Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara flopped badly in the first innings. None of the four could cross 15 runs. In such a situation, all the four batsmen will have to rain runs in the next innings. Lessons have to be learned from your past mistakes. If all four batsmen survive in the second innings, then the possibility of averting the danger of defeat on India’s head will increase.
