Washington Sundar and Shardul Thakur on Sunday stitched together the highest seventh-wicket partnership for India at The Gabba as they helped the visitors remain in the game on Day Three of the fourth and final Test against Australia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After losing set batsman Mayank Agarwal and Rishabh Pant early in the session, Sundar and Thakur shared an unbeaten stand of 67 runs to help India reach 253\/6 at Tea, still trailing by 116 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kapil Dev and Manoj Prabhakar had earlier held the record of the highest seventh-wicket partnership for India in Brisbane, scoring 58 runs in 1991.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Resuming the session at 161\/4, India lost Agarwal on the second delivery as the right-handed batsman was caught in the slips by Steve Smith against Josh Hazlewood. Agarwal scored 38 runs, with the help of three fours and a six, in the 75 balls he faced during the course of his innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pant (23) then shared a 25-run partnership with Sundar before he became the third scalp of Hazlewood who had the India wicketkeeper-batsman caught at gully by Cameron Green.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, Thakur and Sundar scripted a brilliant fightback as they not only allowed Australia to take any further wickets but also made sure that the runs kept coming at a decent rate.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India scored 92 runs in 27 overs bowled in the post-Lunch session as they chase Australia's first innings score of 369. Sundar and Thakur remained unbeaten on 38 and 33 respectively at the Tea Break.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, in the morning session, India had lost Cheteshwar Pujara and skipper Ajinkya Rahane on their respective scores of 25 and 37 respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brief scores: India 253\/6 at Tea (Washington Sundar 38*, Shardul Thakur 33*; Josh Hazlewood 3\/43), Australia 369 all out
