At stumps, India were 4 for no loss with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill at the crease. The highest target successfully chased at Brisbane is 236 and that was seven decades ago
Mohammed Siraj and Shardul Thakur shared nine wickets between them as India dismissed Australia for 294 in their second innings. India need another 324 more runs
India dismissed Australia for 294 in the 2nd innings to set themselves a 328-run target to take the series. Catch highlights of Day 4 of the fourth AUS vs IND Test match here
