Yashasvi Jaiswal to be the key for Indian run-chase:

As India head into the fourth innings with the task of avoiding a clean sweep for the first time in 90 years at home, the former Indian skipper has words of advice for the left-handed opener, Jaiswal and has given him the responsibility to steer India through on a tough track where the left arm spinner, Patel has been running riots in the 3 innings that he has bowled.

“Yashasvi Jaiswal is going to be key for India. As a left-hander, his main job will be to negate Ajaz Patel. He should not just get a start and throw it away like in the first innings.

"You want him to get going because it is not going to be easy once the ball gets older and things start happening on the surface. If Jaiswal gets a good start, things will be easier for India," Kumble said on JioCinema
