Watch: Umesh Yadav's Wild Celebration Sums Up India's Mood As Marnus Labuschagne Departs On Day 4 Of WTC Final

India had the best possible start to the fourth day of the World Test Championship final against Australia as Umesh Yadav scalped the crucial wicket of Marnus Labuschagne in the third over of the day. Umesh let out a big shout after the dismissal and the reason was obvious as Australia went five down. Their lead had ballooned to 296 at the end of Day 3 and for India to have any chance of winning, they need to restrict their lead to as low as possible. The good length delivery around off-stump kicked up and the resulting bounce took Labuschagne's edge and went flying to the first slip, where Cheteshwar Pujara was stationed.

Former Indian cricket team skipper Sourav Ganguly was all praise for Ajinkya Rahane and Shardul Thakur for their resilient performance but he also took a sly dig at the top-order batters on Day 3 of the World Test Championship (WTC) Final at The Oval on Friday. India were all out for 296 in their first innings but both batters scored half-centuries to keep them in the game. Ganguly said that they showed it to the dressing room how to bat on the surface and this can be seen as a "message to the top order".

"Don't Think...": Ajinkya Rahane On His Finger Injury As Crucial Day Looms For India At WTC Final

Battling a finger injury, India's saviour Ajinkya Rahane on Friday dispelled doubts about his involvement with the bat in his team's second innings of the World Test Championship final against Australia in London. Rahane, who made a memorable 89 in his comeback Test after 18 months, hoped that the finger injury he sustained on Thursday would not affect his batting in the second innings. "Don't think it will affect (my) batting (in India's second innings)," Rahane told the broadcaster at the end of the third day's play.
