BCCI President Sourav Ganguly on Monday lauded the efforts of Cheteshwar Pujara, Rishabh Pant and Ravichandran Ashwin in saving the third Test in opposition to Australia and urged the Indian workforce to go for a sequence win.
The trio of Pujara, Pant and Ashwin navigated by means of a hostile Australian bowling assault on the ultimate day to grab a exceptional draw in opposition to the house workforce.
“Hope all of us realise the importance of Pujara, Pant and Ashwin in cricket teams…batting at 3 in test cricket against quality bowling is not always hitting through the line ..almost 400 test wickets don’t come just like that,” Ganguly tweeted.
“..well fought India..time to win the series @bcci,” he wrote.
Hope all of us realise the significance of pujara,pant and Ashwin in cricket groups..batting at 3 in check cricket in opposition to high quality bowling isn’t all the time hitting by means of the road ..virtually 400 check wickets do not come identical to that..effectively fought india..time to win the sequence @bcci— Sourav Ganguly (@SGanguly99) January 11, 2021
Chasing a herculean goal of 407, Pant (97) and Pujara (77) performed brilliantly to offer India hope of an unlikely win. After the dismissal of the duo, Ashwin (39 not out off 128 balls) and Hanuma Vihari (23 not out off 161) noticed by means of the final session to save lots of the Test and pull off a draw.
The sequence is locked at 1-1 going into the fourth and ultimate Test in Brisbane, beginning Friday.
