Earlier, Rishabh Pant (97) and Cheteshwar Pujara (77) brought India back in the hunt, while chasing 407.

We take a look at the interesting stats of this match.

Ashwin remained resilient throughout the innings

Considering Ravindra Jadeja's injury, Ashwin came out to bat at number five during the run-chase.

He remained resilient throughout the innings, having projected a sturdy technique.

He ended up scoring 39 (128), the fifth-most balls played by a number seven batsman for India in the 4th innings.

The other four are Dhoni (159), Pant (146), Mongia (135) and Kirmani (133).

Pant's 97 off 118 balls on the final day was a knock to remember for ages.
