At the end of the final session, Virat (59*) and Jadeja (16*) were unbeaten. However, India still have a mountain to climb as they trail by 191 runs in the match.
Australia made a comeback in the second session as Cheteshwar Pujara became the first victim of Todd Murphy in the 62nd over. Virat Kohli came in the final over to face Nathan Lyon. India ended the session with 188/2.
Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara dominated Australian bowlers in the first innings of the fourth Test match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. India lost the wicket of Rohit Sharma in the first hour of the day. But Pujara and Gill didn't allow the Australian team to capitalise on it.
The batting pair of Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green were decisive in their approach and made the Indian bowlers toil hard making merry of the excellent batting conditions on offer.
The visitors started well in the first half before the Indian bowlers struck twice. Ravichandran Ashwin got the first wicket while Shami scalped the second. Usman Khawaja 27(94) and Steven Smith 2(17) were at the crease for the Aussie team at lunch.
The hosts made just one change with Mohammed Shami replacing pacer Mohammad Siraj, who was given rest considering his workload. Australia made no changes to their winning team from the third Test.
While Australia currently trail India 2-1 and have failed to regain the Border-Gavaskar trophy they so dearly crave, they showed plenty of spirit winning their first Test match on Indian soil since 2017 when they registered a comprehensive nine-wicket triumph over their rivals in Indore.
In a viral video shared by Indian opener Shubman Gill, India captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were seen celebrating the festival of colours on Tuesday ahead of fourth Test match against Australia.
Kohli has managed just 111 runs from five innings during the ongoing Border-Gavaskar against Australia and will once again come up against the same opposition should India clinch the final spot in the World Test Championship decider with a victory in the fourth Test in Ahmedabad this week.
Todd Murphy has been a revelation for Australia in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. His performances have been consistent throughout the BGT series. Australia's Assitant coach Daniel Vettori and the stand-in captain Steve Smith praised him for his extraordinary performance.
