A target of 124 on the Eden Gardens surface was always going to be tricky for India without Shubman Gill, who was earlier in the day officially ruled out of the Test match. And to make matters worse, the hosts lost Yashasvi Jaiswal in the first over of the run chase as the opener edged one to the ‘keeper. While the spinners were expected to wreak havoc, it was Jansen who stunned India again in his next over with a snorter that got rid of KL Rahul, the only Indian batter who faced over 100 deliveries in the first innings. At 1/2, India sent Dhruv Jurel to steady the ship alongside Washington Sundar. While Jurel did take just two balls to open his account with a boundary, Washington looked firm at the other end with a massive task in hand post the lunch break.
