The ongoing series between the two giant cricketing nations India and Australia has been one of the most interesting ones that have been witnessed in the recent past. The series is nicely locked at 1-1 with Australia taking the lead in the first Test at Pune. India pulled off an amazing win at Bengaluru to square the series which marks this fourth one at Dharamsala the decider after the third one resulted in a draw.

In the pre-match press conference, Indian captain Virat Kohli announced that he would only take the field if he is hundred percent fit. Speaking about his possible absence from the fourth and final Test against the Aussies Kohli said, “Everyone’s really proud and motivated to play for the country, and me playing or not playing shouldn’t make so much of a difference to the other ten guys because they have a responsibility to fulfil as well.”

“I’ve not done anything special so far [in the series], but still the guys have fought it out and that shows why we are the number one team in the world. We have quality players who want to step up given these kinds of opportunities and you know, if that scenario happens, I’m sure everyone’s looking at it as probably the game-changing game of their lives. It’s how you look at a particular situation. So everyone’s looking very optimistic for tomorrow’s game regardless” Virat said.

The wicket at Dharamsala is expected to be in the favour of the pacers unlike the other three pitches in Pune, Bengaluru and Ranchi. According to the Indian skipper the world is going to witness a good display of cricket more than anything else as the pitch promises results for both the batsmen and the bowlers.

“I think it is a very good cricket wicket. It has always been very good for the batsmen to get in and get value for their shots. And the bowlers as well, there is good bounce for the spinners, there is obviously good pace off the wicket for the quicks as well. If you do any discipline well, you can reap rewards on this kind of wicket. And the ball travels in the air also.” He added.
