Peter Handscomb was the wall that saw the visitors to a comfortable draw at Ranchi and kept the series alive for the visitors.

Speaking on their strategy Peter Handscomb, he said, “If we can go out and just go with those same plans that we’ve had in the previous three Tests then hopefully it looks after itself and potentially create our own little bit of history.”

In 48 hours from now, India will be looking to clinch their seventh consecutive Test series win.
