Team India are facing Australia in the fourth Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the Narendra Modi Stadium of Ahmedabad. The Indian cricket team are already 2-1 up in the series and will be focusing on winning the fourth Test and qualify for the World Test Championship final. 

Australia won the toss and decided to bat first on a sunny morning in Ahmedabad. Australia got off to a good start and looked comfortable at the pitch but soon India bowler Umesh Yadav created a chance but wicket keeper KS Bharat dropped a sitter catch of Travis Head behind the stumps. The bowl was seaming away from Head and took his bat's outside edge and went through to Bharat. The catch came at good height but at last, the young wicketkeeper-batsman closed his hands early due to which he was unable to take the catch. However, Bharat had Ashwin and Jadeja to thank as they sent the Australian batsman back to the pavilion soon after.
