India has always been a formidable team to face in Test cricket, especially in home conditions. For several years now, this side has shown that it can win games even in challenging overseas conditions. One of the most daunting tasks in Test cricket is chasing a target in the fourth innings. The pitch tends to become slow, the ball starts behaving differently, and runs are never easy to come by. However, Indian batters did show great skill and calmness to chase down big scores when it mattered most. Over the years, India have had batters who could stay strong during pressure and handle the toughest of situations. Many famous Test wins came while chasing targets, proving India's improvement in all conditions. However, the current scenario in the ongoing IND vs SA 2nd Test in Guwahati tells a different story. India gets a target of above 500 runs by South Africa, which has never been chased by India in the history of their Test cricket.
