Australia's wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey lauded the impressive resilience exhibited by Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane as they held firm throughout the day's play. Carey also acknowledged that Australia had achieved a commendable score in the match. He emphasized his team's determination to continue taking wickets on the final day of the World Test Championship (WTC) final.

India commenced their pursuit of the formidable target of 444 runs with a solid start, reaching 92/1. However, the dismissals of Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara halted their momentum. Nevertheless, Kohli and Rahane demonstrated remarkable composure, stabilizing the innings and preventing any further setbacks.

 At the close of Day 4, India stood at 164/3 after 40 overs, with Kohli and Rahane combining for an unbroken partnership of 71 runs. On the opposing side, Australia finds themselves requiring seven wickets to secure victory on the final day of this highly anticipated final.

"We have put a competitive total on the board, and while we are always eager to claim more wickets, Kohli and Rahane played exceptionally well. They are exceptional players, and their partnership holds immense significance. We need to remain patient, bowl in the right areas, and hope that the wickets will follow. We will have another opportunity tomorrow."

Carey's remarks highlighted the importance of the partnership between Kohli and Rahane in the context of the match. He acknowledged the challenge posed by India's resilient batting and reiterated the team's commitment to maintaining their focus, hitting the right areas, and taking crucial wickets on the final day of the WTC final.
