India’s batsman Cheteshwar Pujara insists that the “Men in Blue” are still very much alive in the competition against the Australians. “We are just six down and Ash [Ashwin] can bat, Wriddhi [Saha] can bat and even our lower order will try and contribute as many runs as possible. So we still have a very good chance of getting close to 275-300. If the lower order bats well, you never know – we can get 350 also. Yes, there was a stage where we were in a dominating position but after losing Virat and Ajinkya they have a little bit of advantage. But I still feel we are evenly placed in this Test match,” said Pujara. India were 233-6 at the end of Day 1 of the first Test against Australia in Adelaide.
