New Delhi. Australia has given India a target of 444 runs to win the World Test Championship trophy. This is a target that has never been achieved in Test cricket history. That is, if India has to win the WTC trophy, it will have to perform record-breaking. India can do this or not. Before answering this, we should take care of two things. The first is that what is the position of the Indian team in the match at the moment. Secondly, how many times in Test history a target of more than 400 runs has been achieved.
First the question of the current state of the Indian team. Today i.e. June 11 is the fifth day of the World Test Championship. India had scored 164 runs for 3 wickets by the end of the game on the fourth day. Means India has to score 280 more runs to win and has 7 wickets left. Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane are unbeaten. These two former captains of Team India who have had a great performance on foreign soil. Good innings can also be expected from Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, KS Bharat.
The second question is how many times in Test history a target of more than 400 runs has been achieved. The answer is – 4 times. A target greater than 400 runs has been achieved 4 times in Test history. India has also done this feat. In 1976, the Indian team won the match by 6 wickets by scoring 406 runs in the fourth innings against the West Indies. This match was played in Port of Spain.
Overall, this has happened 4 times, when a team achieved the target of 4 runs. India, Australia, West Indies and South Africa are the names of 4 teams among the target achievers. But the interesting thing is that in the WTC final, Australia has given India a target of more than 400 runs. There is a big record of losing by giving a big target to his name. Australia’s name is the first among the teams that could not save a target bigger than 400 runs. Australia has lost twice even after setting a target of more than 400 runs. England and West Indies have had to face such a bad defeat once.
