The road to victory in Mumbai Test is not easy for Team India, this target has been achieved only once in the fourth innings so far

When the second day of the third match of the three-match Test series being played between India and New Zealand ended, the match had reached a very exciting turn. On the second day of the match, Team India was all out for 263 runs in its first innings, giving them a lead of 28 runs over the Kiwi team’s first-innings score. After this, when the day’s play ended, the New Zealand team scored 171 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in their second innings, taking a lead of 143 runs. Now in such a situation, it is believed that the Indian team will get a target of about 150 runs in the fourth innings of this match, so it will not be an easy task for them to achieve this target in the fourth innings on this pitch.

So far only once a successful chase of 150 plus runs has happened at Wankhede Stadium.

In this match being played at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, the spin bowlers of both teams have shown a strong performance so far, so it will not be easy for the Indian team to chase the target in the fourth innings. In Test cricket, only once has any team been able to chase a target of more than 150 runs in the fourth innings at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. In the year 2000, the South African team achieved a target of 163 runs in the fourth innings of the Test match played at the Wankhede Stadium during their tour of India, but since then no team has been able to achieve a target of 150 or more runs in the fourth innings on this ground. In the Test match played between India and Australia on this ground in the year 2004, the Australian team got a target of 107 runs in the fourth innings and was all out after scoring just 93 runs.

The responsibility will be on the top order of Team India.

So far in this Test series against New Zealand, the Indian team’s batsmen have not been able to perform as expected, in which the bats of captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have been completely silent. In such a situation, to chase the target in the fourth innings, Team India will have to show a much better game with the bat, in which everyone will once again have expectations from Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant, who scored half-centuries in the first innings.
