IND vs AUS Live Score, 4th Test: Bad light has halted play with Nitish Reddy inching closer to his maiden Test century as India stands at 326-7, trailing by 148 runs. On Day 3 of the fourth Test, Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant started proceedings for India from an overnight score of 164/5, facing the daunting task of bridging a massive gap.
Youngster Nitish Reddy emerged as a beacon of hope for the Indian side by securing his first half-century in Test cricket. Reddy took charge under immense pressure after India suffered the twin setbacks of losing Ravindra Jadeja and Rishabh Pant in quick succession. Despite the uphill battle still ahead, Reddy’s composed innings brought much-needed stability to the Indian innings. His partnership with Washington Sundar for the eighth wicket added over 50 runs, showcasing resilience against Australia’s disciplined bowling attack.

Earlier in the day, Pant and Jadeja resumed the innings with a deficit of 310 runs looming large. Pant, however, succumbed to an ill-judged shot, departing for 27 runs and leaving India at 191/6. Nathan Lyon capitalized on the momentum, dismissing Jadeja leg-before-wicket for 17. The Australian bowlers maintained their dominance, building on the foundation set by their team’s formidable first-innings total of 474, achieved after opting to bat first.
