After a great comeback by the Indian bowlers on the Day 4 of the Test against England in Chennai, the hopes of winning the match are high. India needs 381-runs on the 5th Day of the match with 9 wickets in hand. England sets a target of 420-runs against India to win the first Test.<\/p>\n
Ishant Sharma, the Indian pacer who completed his 300 wickets in Test cricket on Monday believes India can chase down this target if they get a good start tomorrow, as anything is possible with the current batting line-up India have. At the end of the 4th Day play, Ishant Sharma said,<\/p>\n
\u201cIt all depends on how we start tomorrow. If we get a good start I am sure that we can chase this down. We have a fearless batting line-up and we are very positive so it\u2019s about how we start and then we can think about how we go through the game,\u201d<\/p>\n
Ishant Sharma dismissed Lawrence to complete his 300 Test wicket, even though he shared that pitch was a little tough to bowl on. He even called the surface a \u2018road\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the first two days, I thought we were playing on a road but yesterday it started to spin a bit more. I think we\u2019ve bowled really well, even on day one or two when the pitch was offering nothing,\u201d said Sharma.<\/p>\n
India ended the day with 39\/1 with Shubhman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara on the crease and required 381 more runs to win the first Test of the series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
