If Rishab Pant had not been injured, it would not have been difficult for India to score 400 runs. Pant managed to score 37 runs on the scoreboard before retiring hurt. It is unfortunate for India that an experienced batsman like Pant retired hurt.

Jadeja and Shardul Thakur are at the crease. Jadeja is very skillful. And in the past matches we have seen better performances from Jadeja. Even then it is quite hard to score 400 + runs. If india does not lose wickets in the beginning of the day , Jadeja and Thakur can stay at the crease for a long time , then India has a chance of scoring 400 runs. But if India loses wickets in the beginning of the day, then maybe it will not be possible for India to score 400 runs.

Cricket fans mostly agree that losing key player like Rishabh Pant to injury really hurts team chances and his early exit with 37 runs made hitting 400 runs look even tougher. But with Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur still batting there is hope. Jadeja past performance shows he is skilled and if they can build strong partnership without losing early wickets on new day reaching 400 becomes possible. However if they lose wickets quickly it will be incredibly hard to get there.
