The wicket pair of Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane is India's hope. These two batsmen are unbeaten on the wicket so far and both are batting with a lot of responsibility if they can build on their partnership then India have a chance to win this match. India now need 268 runs to win. With seven valuable wickets still in hand, it is possible for India to win the World Test Championship if they bat patiently. The match depends a lot on Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane, that's why I said because after that, there are no responsible batsmen like these two. So these two batsmen have to take this innings a lot further.
Aussies have got two big wickets this morning of kohli and Ravindra Jadeja. The game is very much towards Aussies now. India still need 257 more runs to win and last recognised batsmen Ajinkya Madhukar Rahane is on the crease. India are chasing a target of 444 which is never chased before and it becomes more difficult if the opponents is Australia. Still 79 more overs to be bowled today so defiantly we will have a winner today.
When you see that India has lost half their side and the likes of Virat Kholi are no longer available. It's obvious that Australia would win this match from here. Also, there are still 2.5 sessions left in the match. People can hope that India may bat out all these sessions but currently, this does not seem happening.
Looking back to this final and you will realize that India lost it in the very beginning when they let Australia scored 450+ runs target in their first innings. After that, there was just no return for the Indian team.
All hopes gone for India as virat kohli, Ajinkaye Rahane and jadeja all are out and now their lower order is just finishing the match on a decent note .
Australia played brilliantly in all 5 days and they deserved to win this final . Their batting and balling was phenomenal.
