IND vs AUS: Its tough pitch to bat on and you need to trust your defence says Cheteshwar Pujara
India were bundled out for 163 with Lyon taking eight wickets for 64 runs.
While the total doesnt look defendable, Pujara is hoping against hope.
75 may not be too many, but theres a chance, Pujara told Star Sports at the end of days play.
Asked about the strategy needed on this track, Pujara said one also needs to attack suitably as he showed by hitting one of his rarest sixes in Test cricket off Lyon.
You need to attack and defend, a mix, on this pitch. If you keep defending, one ball will bounce and hit your glove. My aim was to be a bit more positive, try and score as many as possible. Pujara rued that he didnt have a bigger stand with in-form Axar Patel who ran out of partners in the end.
