The Indian team has lost the fourth test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia by 184 runs. After this defeat, the team has lagged 1-2 in the 5-match series. The last match will be played in Sydney from January 3.
Australia had given a target of 340 runs to win in Melbourne on Monday, but the Indian team could only score 155 runs in the last innings. At one time the team had scored 120 runs after losing 3 wickets and one session was left. In such a situation, the match seemed to be heading towards a draw.
But, India lost due to 2 reasons
First- Rishabh Pant (30 runs) was out. Here India lost the last 7 wickets in scoring 34 runs. All these wickets came in the last session of the 5th day.
Second- In the 71st over, Yashasvi Jaiswal (84 runs) was out due to the controversial decision of the third umpire. He was given not out by the field umpire. When Jaiswal’s wicket fell, India had to play 22 overs and 3 wickets were left to draw the match. In such a situation, India could have drawn the match here, but after the wicket of Yashasvi, India’s lower order (last 3 batsmen) disintegrated. Complete news of this controversy

Rohit Sharma said after the match – Pant will have to understand the responsibility
It hurts more when you lose a match. The demonstration continues. When you have a chance to press the game, you should press it. We had chances to do well in the last three matches. We did not seize the opportunities due to which we fell behind in the game. Pant will have to understand his responsibility as per the need.
