Gavaskar said India need to put their "head down" and try and get as close as possible to Australia's total. Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant were in the middle when stumps were called.

Sunil Gavaskar said that although it was a "risky single," Virat Kohli would have made his ground had he run on Yashasvi Jaiswal's call.

The Indian batting contingent looked really set and steady as they began their chase of the 474 runs put up by Australia on the board during the first innings of the fourth test that is taking place at the MCG.
