India have been set a frightening 444-run goal by Australia within the closing of the World Test Championship closing at The Oval on Saturday. Australia declared the second innings on 270/8. If India chased down the goal, it will likely be the highest-ever profitable chase within the historical past of Test cricket. Before this match, the very best profitable chase occurred in 2003 when West Indies chased down a 418-run goal in opposition to Australia. The highest profitable run chase by India occurred in 1976 when the group chased down a 403-run goal in opposition to West Indies.

India will create historical past in the event that they chase down 444.
