Piyush Chawla said that the hosts can still make a comeback in the fourth Test if Virat Kohli and M.S. Dhoni manage to put on a good session, says a report in The Hindu.
“We lost a few quick wickets but we still have two quality batsmen at the crease and they are having a good partnership (Virat Kohli and M.S. Dhoni) and seeing the ball really well. Let’s hope for the best because the way these guys are middling the ball we could have a good session on Saturday,” Chawla said.
India are four down for 87 and Virat Kohli (11) and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (8) are at the crease.
“The morning session will be important. If we manage to play around 30-45 minutes without losing a wicket then we will be in a good position,” he said.
Meanwhile, The Indian Express report says that Chawla who took his career-best 4 for 69 said that he was under some pressure after being recalled to the Test side after four years.
"There is always pressure whenever you play but there was little bit more pressure this time because I was making a comeback to the Indian team after a long wait of four years. But the way it has started I think it has been good," he said.
On the pitch he said, “I think the wicket was playing a little better today, it was coming on to the bat when we were bowling in the morning. Let's see how it plays in the next three days, may be tomorrow onwards it will start turning a bit more.
"We thought if we get one wicket to start with in the morning we can stop them somewhere under the 300-run mark but Joe Root and Matt Prior batted really well. But when we broke that partnership we recovered really well," said Chawla.
