India have been given the target of 124 runs in this ongoing Kolkata Test, but the number looks much bigger as the match has moved. The Eden Gardens wicket started offering sharp turn right from Day 1, and the spinners from both the sides took full control. More than 20 wickets have fallen inside two days, and even small targets look tricky, especially in the fourth innings. Highest Successful 4th Innings Chase in Test at Eden Gardens Eden Gardens has hosted Test cricket for more than ninety years, but few matches have seen successful chases in the fourth innings. Even fewer have crossed the 100-run mark. Only once has a team chased more than 100 here, and that happened in 2004, also in an India–South Africa Test. The highest successful chase at this venue came in 2004 when India chased 117. Harbhajan Singh picked up seven wickets in South Africa’s second innings and bowled them out for 222. Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar then guided India to 120/2, securing an eight-wicket win. In the past, much less was required to constitute a successful chase. India chased down 79 against England in 1993; on paper, it sounded straightforward, but the game situation made every run vital. Two other successful chases at Eden Gardens have been even smaller: England chased down 41 against India in 2012 and Australia reached a target of 39 back in 1969.

Why This Chase Will Test India The target of 124 set by India is not huge, but the history suggests that it will take a great and solid effort from the top order. As the match has progressed further, Eden Gardens has become very tough to bat on. The ball is sharply turning, and the uneven bounce has troubled almost every batter. India will have to chase a score that no team has ever achieved here before. Even experts feel that anything above 100 on this pitch is a big challenge. With the bowlers in rhythm and conditions favouring spin, India will need patience and smart batting to pull off this chase. A successful chase of 124 will mean it will be a win and a new record in Kolkata.
