After batting excellently in both innings, Australia gave a massive target of 444 runs for India to chase. Indian batters will create history if they achieve this total successfully as it will be the largest run chase by any team in the history of Test cricket.

India's star batter is renowned as the 'chase master' for a career filled with devastatingly decisive innings when targeting tricky totals.

"What motivates me is knowing that the opportunity I have every game that I play for India, to make my team win, I don't think in sport there is any bigger motivation than that," he told ICC.

"I wake up every morning of any game that I play believing that I'm going to be the guy who is going to make my team win. I'm still as excited to be the man that helps my team when I'm batting out there," Virat said.

The former Indian captain said that he wakes up every morning thinking to be the man for the team.

"I still wake up every morning believing that I can be the man for the team," he added.

At the end of the fourth day, India scored 164/3 in 40 overs with Ajinkya Rahane and Virat Kohli at the crease with scores of 20(59)* and 44(60)* at the Oval in London.

After the arguable dismissal of Shubman Gill in the second innings, Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara kept the scoreboard moving.

But Rohit Sharma became the target of Nathan Lyon and Pujara was dismissed on Pat Cummins's bowling.

India was down to 93/3, from that point, Rahane and Kohli took on the Australian bowlers and subdued them with their defensive skills and attacking shots. They went on to build an unbeaten 71-run partnership as India ended the day with 164/3. (ANI)
