Watch: Shubman Gill's Contentious Dismissal That Had The Internet Abuzz During WTC Final

Australia set India a record 444-run target on a tricky pitch after Alex Carey propped up their second innings total to 270 for eight before declaring midway into the afternoon session. India kept things tight in the morning but Carey (66 not off 105) and Mitchell Starc (51 off 47) showed aggressive intent to share a 93-run stand off 120 balls for the seventh wicket. They collected 69 valuable runs off 87 balls before Pat Cummins declared the innings after his own dismissal.

After Australia set India a record 444-run target on a tricky pitch at the World Test Championship final at The Oval on Saturday, there was huge uproar on social media over the dismissal of Shubman Gill. India started the humongous chase on a strong footing, but at the stroke of tea, Scott Boland got one to bounce little extra from length and it flew from ball the shoulder of Gill's bat only to be lapped up by a diving Cameron Green at gully. It was the second time in the game that Green took a screamer though replay suggested it was a close call with the ball very close to the ground.

WTC Final, India vs Australia: What Is The Highest Successful Chase In Tests?

India have been set a daunting 444-run target by Australia in the final of the World Test Championship final at The Oval on Saturday. Australia declared the second innings on 270/8. If India chased down the target, it will be the highest-ever successful chase in the history of Test cricket.

The highest successful run chase by India happened in 1976 when the team chased down a 403-run target against West Indies.

"India Will Be In The Game If They Chase...": Sourav Ganguly On Winning Target In WTC Final

After two days' of dominance by Australia in the World Test Championship, India had a decent day with Ajinkya Rahane and Shardul Thakur putting up a great fight. Though Australia were already ahead by 296 at the end of the third day, former India captain and ex-BCCI president Sourab Ganguly feels that if India can restrict the Pat Cummins-led team's lead to under 375, India will have a great chance in the 'Ultimate Test'. "If India has to chase 360 or 370, then India will be in the game. They have Virat Kohli, best Chaser in the world and many class players as well. So anything can happen in the last two days," Ganguly said on Star Sports.

Ajinkya Rahane, who top-scored for India with a 89 in the first innings of the World Test Championship final, was struck on his right hand's index finger off a Pat Cummins bouncer on the second day of the match. He immediately felt pain and called on the physio for treatment. Rahane faced 129 balls and struck 11 fours and a six during his stay in the middle. His 109-run partnership for the seventh wicket with Shardul Thakur (51 off 109) kept India in the game but Australia still managed to take a massive 173-run first-innings lead.
