Indian team is in very bad condition in Guwahati Test. India’s first innings was reduced to just 201 runs, giving South Africa a huge lead of 288 runs. Last year, New Zealand did it and now South Africa is also close to clean sweep Team India at its home. Even if South Africa gets all out after scoring 150 runs in the second innings, India will still get a target of more than 400. In such a situation, the question is whether the Indian team can still win the Guwahati Test. Know here what is the biggest run chase in test cricket?
South Africa had scored 489 runs in the first innings thanks to Senuran Muthusamy’s 109 runs and Marco Jansen’s 93 runs. For the Indian team, Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 58 runs, while KL Rahul returned after scoring 22 runs. At one time it seemed difficult for Team India to even score 150 runs. But Washington Sundar played an inning of 48 runs, somehow taking Team India beyond 200.
Biggest run chase in test
Since South Africa has got a huge lead of 288 runs in the first innings. If Africa scores even 250 runs in the second innings, then India will get a huge target of more than 500 runs. There is bad news for Team India, because a target of more than 400 runs has never been chased on Indian pitches. The biggest run chase in India is in the name of Team India, when in the year 2008 it chased the target of 387 runs against England at Chennai ground.
The biggest successful run chase in the history of Test cricket is in the name of England. In the year 1939, England had created history by achieving the target of 654 runs against South Africa. But after that, not only 600, even the target of 500 runs could not be chased in Test cricket. Overall, it is going to be very heavy for the Indian team to fall behind by 288 runs in the Guwahati Test.
