Plot watch - Jadeja's rough
Dark patches outside the left-handers' off stump caused Australia some concern, but the rest of the Ranchi pitch continued to play well

The pitch continued to be good for batting on the fourth day. The only worry for Australia was that 83 overs from Pat Cummins and Josh Hazelwood, most of which were from over the wicket, had created a rough outside the left-handers' off stump, and they had five of them. Through the day, there was speculation about how Ravindra Jadeja would exploit the dark patches. When Steve O'Keefe tried to bowl into that rough, he didn't get much purchase, even when he pitched it wide outside the right-handers' leg stump.
Cheteshwar Pujara's meditation at the crease seemed to turn the playing field at the JSCA International Stadium into a monastery, with even the chirpiest of Australia's fielders seemingly taking a vow of silence. Then, in the final 30 minutes of the day, everything came alive. There was plenty of chatter around the bat when India began to bowl. Three vociferous appeals for lbw seemed designed more to intimidate the batsmen than get a decision from the umpire, considering there was barely a discussion on whether to review the not-out calls.
After causing so much discussion and debate during the series, the DRS clearly did its job on day four, overturning an erroneous decision by Ian Gould; he had given Pujara out lbw, but the ball was missing leg stump by about a foot. Then it was Australia's turn to be desperate with their reviews, wasting both on caught-behind appeals when the ball had gone nowhere close to the bat.
