Star Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was on song during the fourth day’s play in the ongoing World Test Championsh💧ip (WTC) final against Australia at the Oval in Lonꦫdon. Jadeja bagged three wickets for 58 runs in his quota of 23 overs, including 4 maidens.
During his eye-catching spell, Jadeja stunned Cameron Green as he dismissed the Aussie all-rounder with a beauty. Notably, Jadeja was brought into the bowling attack after eight overs with a clear intention of making the ball turn sharply from outside the 🤪leg stump.
The plan proved effective for India as Green, while trying to play a forward defensive stroke, was caught off guard by the additional bounce. The ball ended up hitting his glove before bouncing ont🐟o the stumps.

Australia declare on 270/8 to set India a 444-run target
Australia declared their second innings at 270/8, presenting India with an immense challenge of chasing down a colossal target of 444 runs. Following the lunch break, the Aussies came out with a clear intention to score runs quickly, and Alex Carey, along with Mitchell Starc, played a vital role in achieving that goal.
The duo contributed 93 runs for the seventh wicket, providing Australia with an additional advantage. Carey displayed great determination and resilience as he topꦏ-scored for the side, smashing 66 runs off 105 balls.
For India to achieve victory, they will need to surpass their own record for the highest-ever successful fourth-innings run chase, which is at 406/4 against West Indies in Port of Spain in 1976. When it comes to the highest successful run chase at The Oval, England accomplished the feat against Australia over a century ago in 190🐓ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ2 by chasing 263.
