After three entertaining matches, India and Australia will face off in the fourth and final Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 Test. On Thursday, March 9, the eagerly anticipated match will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Following their defeat in the third Test in Indore, India will be under greater pressure to perform. Their spot in the final of the ICC World Test Championship (2021-23) would be secured by a victory.
In contrast, Australia will be buoyed by their nine-wicket victory in the third Test. Even though it won’t be easy for the visitors to win the final Test, they will certainly try to put India to the test in the next match.
It is anticipated that the pitch in Ahmedabad will be the best for batting in the series thus far. As a result, there is a good chance that the match will last longer than just three days.
Batters from both teams will still need to put in a lot of effort and keep their cool throughout the game.
On that note, we should investigate the three potential players who could score the most runs in the forthcoming fourth Test between India and Australia.
#3 Cheteshwar Pujara – IND
Cheteshwar Pujara appears to be finding his rhythm and has contributed crucial second-innings runs in each of the last two Tests.
The No. 3 hitter was feeling the squeeze to perform yet his new trips, remembering a crucial 50 years for testing conditions in Indore, procured him every one of the praises.
The 35-year-old enjoys playing against Australia because he has scored nearly 2000 Test runs against them and wants to win the series.
#2 Marnus Labuschagne – AUS
Marnus Labuschagne, The No. 1 ranked Test batter has not yet played in many Test series.
In his first series in India, Labuschagne has not scored a century; his highest individual score was 49 in the first innings of the first Test in Nagpur.
However, the 28-year-old was possibly the visitors’ best batter in both innings in Indore. In the first innings, he took his team home with a gritty 31 from 91 balls before scoring an unbeaten 28 in the second.
In the fourth Test, it wouldn’t be out of the question if Labuschagne goes big and builds on his performance.
#1 Virat Kohli – IND
Virat Kohli’s form has played a significant role in the fact that the Indian batting unit has not performed well in the series thus far.
Kohli has arrived at the midpoint of just 22 with the bat in the continuous series, assembling 111 stumbles into five innings. Fans haven’t seen a special red-ball inning from Kohli in over three years.
In some of his innings this series, the former Indian skipper, like Pujara and Labuschagne, has appeared confident in his defense.
Kohli, 34, will be determined to get his act together in Ahmedabad given that he averages almost 60 in the fourth Test match of the series.
