Chasing 328, Team India lost Rohit Sharma early but young Shubman Gill, who had made his debut barely a couple of Tests ago, scored the highest in the team with 91 runs under his belt, Rishabh Pant remained unbeaten on 89 and Cheteshwar Pujara too made a valuable contribution of 56. The partnership between Gill and Pujara created the solid base for what turned out to be one of the greatest run chases in the history of Indian cricket.

After Pujara was dismissed by seamer Pat Cummins for 56, Pant continued on his merry way and proved his mettle by stitching a crucial 53-run partnership with all-rounder Washington Sundar. This gritty performance from the middle-order helped the visitors chase down the challenging total on the last day of the Test match.
