India earned a draw in the third Test in Sydney on the back of a memorable fourth innings batting performance. In terms of effort, it was almost on a par with the Oval in 1979.
How resolute was India?
As a CricViz Analyst tweet put it, this was the longest India batted “anywhere” in a fourth innings since 1979. In 1979 against England at the Oval, faced with a fourth-innings chase of 438, India made 429/8, batting 150.5 overs. At the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on Monday, India earned a draw, batting 131 overs and scoring 334/5 in their second innings. Four batsmen Cheteshwas Pujara, Rishabh Pant Hanuma Vihari and Ravi Ashwin – played 100-plus deliveries to secure the draw
