87 to go....

13 Test matches against 4 different countries is what India played in last one year.
And yet, the most awaited series of all has come down to wire. 

A lot was to be played for and every one had a point to prove.  

The authority of visiting team on Indian soil was always in doubt and yet at Pune, in less than three days of first test, the host were in shambles. More than shame it was a shocker, an eye opener.

Then came Bengaluru, and “brain – fade” saga took center stage than India win. 

Series was one – all, momentum had shifted on India’s side but, had it not been for the resilience shown from Aussie middle order batsmen Ranchi could have sealed the deal in India’s favor. 

Without Kohli India’s chance of winning a series looked doubtful but, maiden test for left arm spinner Yadav in one of the most picturesque venue Dharamshala proved blessing in disguise for the hosts, as they wrapped Aussies first innings at just 300 runs and later went on to take a minuscule lead. 

It was all about day 3 of 4 test and what one witnessed just after the fall of inform Aussie captain was the team which went down like ninepins in a matter of time. 

The target set was of 106 out of which 19 runs are in kitty already. Can host make remaining 87 runs without making too many blunders and end this grand season with a win. 

The heart says yes but, mind knows the reality of the game. It’s not over till it’s completely over.   

Fingers crossed for India win!!!
