By India. A very warm welcome to everyone. From Adelaide horror to Sydney high, the Indian cricket team has had a memorable tour of Australia so far. In the absence of their premier batsman Virat Kohli and pace duo of Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Shami, the tourists have given Australia a fight to remember. Yes, the focus has shifted slightly due to an ugly incident in Sydney but that takes nothing away from the intensity with which these two teams have fought. The series is locked at one-all and India are on the backfoot because of the various injury crisis ahead of the fourth Test. Australia need a win to regain Border-Gavaskar Trophy but a draw will be enough for India to retain it for another couple of years. There are times when the human body responds differently to the adrenaline rush and the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin, Rishabh Pant and Hanuma Vihari have given their million fans a reason to believe in their gumption that was on display in Sydney. They battled against everybody — the racist ones in the galleries, the abusive one behind the stumps and those lethal ones with the shiny red nut that broke a few bones but could not shake the steely resolve of the Indians. And insult to injury is Mayank Agarwal being hit on the forearm in the nets and Ashwin battling back spasms. The medical team is working with all the injured players. India must be kicking themselves for two dropped catches.

This is India's third and last review. It was a fifth day pitch and the ball was turning.

They have thus confirmed victory in the series as well, having taken an unassailable lead with one match to go. Matthew Wade won the toss and chose to bowl first. Both sides made a number of changes, four for India and five for Australia. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad put up a run opening partnership before the former fell off the last ball of the powerplay. India were pegged back with Suryakumar and Shreyas Iyer both falling within a few balls of each other but Rinku Singh led a fightback with a run stand for the fourth wicket with Gaikwad that came in 31 balls. Jitesh Sharma then stayed up with Rinku's strike rate and the pair put up 56 runs fort the fifth wicket off just 32 balls. It was a bit of a collapse for India after that with Ben Dwarshuis and Jason Behrendorff taking two wickets each in the 19th and 20th overs.

India have a daunting task ahead, of chasing runs more to retain the series. Salvaging a draw will be another option at hand. A score as big as this has never been chased successfully at the Gabba, which has shown enough inconsistent bounce with the cracks having opened up for the Indians to be aware. Yet it will be the Aussies who will be more under pressure as they will be chasing nothing less than a win at their fortress to reclaim the trophy and stay atop in the World Test Championship. Besides, there will be a considerable rain threat expected to deny a lot many overs for Australia. If India finish with a win, it will be nothing short of an epic chase, one for the ages. A draw as well would be commendable for the Indian side who have lost nine players to injury and a Virat Kohli. Brief Preview: A battered and bruised India will take on Australia in the series decider despite not being sure of their best playing eleven, hours before the fourth Test begins at the bouncy wicket at The Gabba. Ace fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is racing against time to get fit from his abdominal strain while batsman Hanuma Vihari, who saw India through to a draw in the third Test, is unlikely to play due to hamstring injury.
