India still in with a chance: Ashwin

Sydney, Jan 9: Off–spinner Ravichandran Ashwin insisted on Friday that India are still in the game despite trailing by 348 runs at stumps on day four of the fourth Test against Australia here. “It was pretty similar in Adelaide as well and we did well there. It is still decently poised although they have an ace up. I batted today and there are not a lot of devils in the wicket but it is hard to score,” Ashwin said at a press conference on Friday. He believed that if a batsman has the mindset to stay at the crease, then the pitch would not pose too much problems. “It’s a kind of wicket where if a batsman applies, it is difficult to get him out. It all depends on a batsman’s attitude and mindset. We will also try to be positive when we bat,” he said. IANS
