Target of 100-130 safe, says Kaif
Md. Kaif, who marked his return to Test cricket with a heroic 64, said 100-130 runs should be a safe target to chase in the fourth innings.
Mohammad Kaif, who marked his return to Test cricket with a heroic 64, on Saturday said 100 to 130 runs should be a safe target for India to chase in the fourth innings for levelling the Test series against Australia.
"It is going to be hard to bat in the fourth innings under humid conditions but we look to chase a target of 100 to 130 runs," Kaif said after the third day's play of the second cricket Test here.
The middle-order batsman said the Indian bowlers bowled well on Saturday but it was important to get a couple of quick wickets in the first session on Sunday to get a firm grip on the match.
"Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan bowled well today. Let us see, how they perform tomorrow. Sending back (Adam) Gilchrist was very vital since he is capable of turning the tide and we require two-three quick wickets tomorrow morning."
