The Indian team had a decent outing on the 4th day of the WTC final 2023 against Australia. The day even improved when speedster Umesh Yadav scalped the wicket of Marnus Labuschagne in the third over of the day. Since Australia had increased their lead to 296 by the end of day 3, in order to make a comeback, India had to restrict their lead. Umesh bowled a length delivery that was pitched outside off and Marnus could not read the ball well and ended up edging the ball to the first slip where Pujara took a great catch.

Just after taking a wicket, India’s pacer Yadav was spotted having a wild celebration since it was Australia’s fifth wicket. Here is the video.

Earlier, ace India all-rounder Shardul Thakur who starred for the team on Friday after making a crucial 51 runs, was confident that his team can chase a total of 450 runs in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia at The Oval.  Ajinkya Rahane also made a mark in the first half of day 3 when he scored 89 runs alongside Thakur’s 51 and helped India make  296 in their first innings.

"Well, cricket is a funny game. You can never say what is the right total and in this one-off game, especially ICC finals, you never know, I mean, who can handle the pressure better out there, one good partnership when you can even chase down 450 or maybe more than that," Shardul Thakur said in a post-match press conference.

"Last year England chased 400 here and they did not lose too many wickets. So that's a positive sign for us. Whatever they put up on the board, it's too early to make any predictions. We see a lot of times in Test cricket that game changes within an hour. So yes, we like to be optimistic tomorrow going on the field. And yeah, we'll take it on from there," Shardul added.
