India vs Australia, 4th Test: Breakthrough

Jadeja is the bowler who breaks the crucial 79-run partnership. Smith departs after contributing 38 runs from 135 balls, which included 3 boundaries.
India vs Australia, 4th Test: Tea Break
In contrast to the first three Tests, the bowlers have not dominated in this match. The pitch is dry but has not displayed any erratic behavior or significant spin. The two batters have shown exceptional application and although scoring runs has been challenging, they have kept themselves occupied. India has rotated their five bowlers, maintained discipline, and adopted a patient approach. Since they are used to achieving easy success, this might prove challenging for the spinners, and the two batters could hope for them to tire out during the post-tea session.
India vs Australia, 4th Test: Fifty for Usman Khawaja
Usman Khawaja faced another maiden over from Ravichandran Ashwin, as the big crowd at the Motera stadium fell silent and dwindled in numbers during the second session of play.

However, the Indian team had reason to celebrate as Rohit Sharma claimed the title of highest wicket-taker in the series by dismissing the Australian batsman, thanks to a well-taken catch by Ravindra Jadeja. The score now stood at 132/2.
India vs Australia, 4th Test: India in search of wickets
Steve Smith has been troubled by the sight screen for the third time this session, with some ground staff movement causing some traffic on that side. This was frustrating for Umesh Yadav as a bowler, and it must be equally irksome for Axar Patel, who prefers to wrap up his overs quickly. The score is 110/2, and it's now time for a drinks break.
India vs Australia, 4th Test: IND control run-rate
As Steve Smith faced Axar Patel's over, he adopted a defensive stance, stooping low and using a front foot block. It was reminiscent of watching a Steve Smith GIF as Patel kept it simple, relying on his arm ball - the one that comes with the arm. Smith's soft hands were brought into play on the last delivery, which was slightly outside off, allowing him to take a single and retain the strike. The score for Australia was 99/2.
India vs Australia, 4th Test: AUS Bounce Back
With grace and skill, the batsman reads the bounce like a book and expertly executes a late back cut behind square for four runs. It's a display of soft hands at play. However, the Australian captain is experiencing a hindrance to his concentration due to the cloth by the sidescreen. This leads to a frustrating pause in play. As a result, Australia's score stands at 94/2.

India vs Australia, 4th Test: Lunch Break
During the first hour of this Test match, Australia was in control with Head and Khawaja achieving the highest opening partnership for the hosts in the series. However, in the second half of the session, India made a strong comeback. Although Head was dropped by Bharat, he was later dismissed by Ashwin after the drinks break when he attempted to go after the bowler. Shami also took Labuschagne's wicket quickly. Despite this, Khawaja has been able to score runs by hitting loose deliveries to the boundary. In total, 56 runs were scored before the drinks break, but only 19 runs were scored afterwards due to Ashwin and Jadeja keeping things tight. India hopes that this pressure will continue in the next session.
