Brisbane:\u00a0India will chase 324 runs for a fairytale victory in the fourth Test decider against Australia after rain brought an end to play after tea on day four in Brisbane on Monday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rohit Sharma was four not out, with Shubman Gill yet to score at the Gabba, after the injury-decimated tourists bowled Australia out for 294 in their second innings.<\/p>\n

With the series level at 1-1, Australia must win the match to claim the Border-Gavaskar trophy. Holders India, however, need only a draw to retain the silverware after their breakthrough 2-1 win in the 2018\/19 series in Australia.<\/p>\n

Australia’s task may be made tougher with rain forecast on day five.<\/p>\n

“It’s hard to know, obviously with the rain coming,” Australia batsman Steve Smith told reporters.<\/p>\n

“You have to play the game as you sort of see it as well.<\/p>\n

“I think the game is in a nice place for us. The wicket is starting to play a few tricks.<\/p>\n

“Tomorrow is about bowling a few good areas … Hopefully we can hold on to all the chances.”<\/p>\n

A Gabba pitch that was largely benign through the opening days began to bare its teeth on Monday, with Smith (55) gloving a catch to captain Ajinkya Rahane after a Mohammed Siraj ball reared up from the wicket.<\/p>\n

India’s bowlers chipped away all day, with Siraj finishing the best of them with a haul of 5-73.<\/p>\n
