IND vs AUS, 4th Test, Day 3 Live Score Updates: Shubman Gill and Cheteshar Pujara are making life difficult for the Australian bowlers, and have put India in a strong position on Day 3 in the fourth Test in Ahmedabad. However, Australia have managed to choke India for runs in the second session. Gill is playing in his 90s, and will hope to convert his innings into a triple-figure score. Pujara, on the other hand, is anchoring India’s innings from the other end. Matthew Kuhnemann had haulted India’s flying start as he dismissed India captain Rohit Sharma on 34 in the morning session on Day 3. On Friday, India made sure that they end Day 2 without losing a wicket after skittling out Australia for 480 in the first innings of the game. India were 36 for 0 at stumps, trailing Australia by 446 runs, with Gill and Rohit batting unbeaten on 18 and 17, respectively. (LIVE SCORECARD)
