Leg spinner Piyush Chawla feels the hosts can still make a comeback in the fourth Test if Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni manage to put on a good show today. “We lost a few quick wickets but we still have two quality batsmen at the crease and they (Kohli and Dhoni) are having a good partnership and seeing the ball really well. Let’s hope for the best because the way these guys are middling the ball we could have a good session tomorrow,” said Chawla.

“The morning session will be important. If we manage to play for around 30-45 minutes without losing a wicket then we will be in a good position,” added Chawlau00a0He said that the poor form of batsmen is not affecting the bowlers. “This happens. It is not that our batting has flopped big time as we have managed to get around 300-350 in every match. It has not affected the bowlers.u00a0“As a bowling unit, we have done well,” he said.
