ONLY 32 TIMES in 158 instances have India completed successful chases in their Test history. There have been many instances of India failing to handle the fourth-inning pressure at home like Chennai 1999, Pune 2017, Chennai 2021, Bangalore 2004, 2005, 1987, or most recently, Hyderabad 2024.
On Monday, on a flaking pitch where the ball turned and occasionally kept low, India were struggling. Chasing 192, they were 120/5.
Ranchi 2024 seemed like a repeat of the same old story.
However, in Shubman Gill and Dhruv Jurel India would discover a pair of potential chase-masters.
Gill likes fourth innings-in 10 knocks, he averages 44. To contextualise, Rohit Sharma averages only 32 and has scored a half-century fewer than Gill, having featured in eight more innings. Steve Smith, arguably the best batsman of his generation, averages 29. It shows how devious a pursuit it is.
