IND versus AUS, WTC 2023 Finale Day 3: After Australia bowled out India for 296 runs in their 1st innings, the Kangaroos have scored 123/4* in their 2nd innings, taking a 296-run lead with six wickets in hand at stumps on Day 3 of the ICC World Test Title (WTC) 2023 finale. Marcus Labuschagne (41*) and Cameron Green (7*) are at crease as Australia are in a commanding position with two days to go. For India, R Jadeja has scalped two wickets, while M Siraj and U Yadav have taken one each.

India's 1st innings messiah, Ajinkya Rahane scored a dazzling 89 runs (129 balls) becoming the thirteenth Indian cricketer to finish 5,000 runs in his 83rd Test match. While Rahane was the top scorer, other Indian batsmen did not look in good shape, except Ravindra Jadeja, who scored a fiery 51-ball 48, and Shardul Thakur, who scored 51 to share a crucial 109-run seventh wicket stand with Rahane.

For Australia, Pat Cummins was the top performer with the ball scalping 3 wickets, while Mitchell Starc, Scott Boland and Cameron Green took 2 wickets each. Nathan Lyon took one wicket.

Now that we are on Day 4 of the WTC 2023 Finale, India need to stop Australia as soon as possible as they have already taken a 296-lead. And now if they add 100 more runs to their scoreboard, it will be extremely difficult for India to beat them.
