India’s cricketers say they will push for victory in the fourth Test at the SCG, aiming to salvage a win from the lost series against Australia.

The visitors will resume on day four on Friday at 5-342 with Virat Kohli 140 not out and Wriddhiman Saha on 14.

The flat SCG pitch has heavily favoured batsmen over the first three days and a draw remains the most likely result.

The Indians haven’t been disgraced in this series despite handing over the Border-Gavaskar Trophy before the sides moved to the last match in the best-of-four series in Sydney.

And Thursday’s century-maker KL Rahul says his teammates are keen to take something from the series after losses in Adelaide and Brisbane and a draw in Melbourne.

“I think we still have a chance from here if we bat really well tomorrow (Friday),” said Rahul who notched up his maiden Test century (110) in his second Test at the SCG.

“Maybe (bat for) two sessions and get some runs and then come out and put big effort from the bowlers and we feel we will go somewhere.

“The wicket is getting slower and there is help for the spinners.”

Australia coach Darren Lehmann said his men would also take an aggressive approach into the final two days.

“I reckon it’ll turn more,” Lehmann said of the pitch.

“It’s going to be a really interesting day tomorrow. We would have loved a couple more wickets but give them credit they played really well.

“We probably have to be pretty aggressive to set something up.

“There’s still a lot of time in this game.”
