Australia vs India, Second Test: 5 talking points from Day 4

#5 Hanuma Vihari remains as India's final glimpse of hope

Hanuma Vihari and Rishabh Pant

Maybe I have jinxed by saying it, but I don't regret it - the youngster is definitely a great find for India, and he plays for his side just like he deserves it. If it was through some key bowling performances in the first innings, Vihari's latest essay is being written using his bat - his primary role with the squad.

As mentioned above, Hanuma Vihari chipped in a valuable stand of 43 runs with Ajinkya Rahane and has since played a role in the unbeaten 19-run stand with Rishabh Pant. The batsman ended the day with 24 runs off 58 balls, including four hits to the fence.

On a surface where India's best batsmen faltered, Vihari displayed the right mix of poise and attack, and would be India's best bet at wishing for a turnaround win tomorrow.
