Go India, go – win the 5th Test match at Sydney and show your mettle

#SydneyTest #Kohli At the end of the 4th day, Australia has a huge lead of 348 runs and, if they decide to let the Indians have a go at scoring 349 runs on the last day, it would be a fantastic 5th day. Cricket Test matches spilling over to the 5th day is gradually becoming a regular feature unlike the times when it would finish on the 3rd day itself.
Actually, Indians have only themselves to blame for allowing the Aussies to have plundered runs in the last session of the 4th day and it is now up to the batsmen to make a match of it.
There would be 90 overs on the 5th and last day and a score of 349 would mean scoring around 4 runs per over – with our boys tuned to the ODI and T20 formats, such a task should be an easy one because they are accustomed to scoring at even 6 and 7 runs per over if needed.
Hence, Virat Kohli should take the field with a positive frame of mind and tell his boys – we can do it. Take it session by session and keep gnawing away at the target. Keep whittling it down and watch the Aussies fuming and fretting.
Let us not keep it to the end for R Ashwin, Wriddhiman Saha and Bhuvneshwar Kumar to come to the rescue but the top order should play out of their skins and win the 5th match. They are the batsmen and must deliver and not leave the task to tailenders. When the tail wags, it looks good but that does not always happen.
