4th Test: India need 87 runs to seal series 2-1 in Dharamsala

Dharamsala, March 27: Indian bowlers wreaked havoc in the two sessions post lunch as Australia were bundled out for 137 in their second innings on the third day of the fourth Test here on Monday (March 27). The visitors took an overall lead of 105 runs.

Chasing a small target of 106 runs with two more days of play remaining, India scored 19/0 in 6 overs before umpires dislodged the bails on day three.

Indian openers KL Rahul (13 batting) and Murali Vijay (6 not out) will resume India's run chase on the penultimate day as hosts need 87 more runs to win.

It was a day dominated by the Indians after taking crucial 32 runs' lead in their first innings in the first session, thanks to another



gritty fifty by Ravindra Jadeja (63). India scored 332 runs in their first innings and later bundled the Australians out within two sessions and placed themselves in the driver's seat.

The Indian bowlers rampaged through the Australian batting lineup with pacer Umesh Yadav and the spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja scalping three wickets each -- medium-pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar took one wicket.

Hero of the first innings, Kuldeep Yadav couldn't get any wicket in the second innings as the chinaman bowled 5 overs in the second innings. Ashwin and Jadeja did the bulk of India's bowling, along with Umesh Yadav.

Glenn Maxwell (45 runs off 60 balls) was the highest scorer for the visitors.
