India will need 324 runs more, with all its wickets intact, when the Ajinkya Rahane-led side come out to bat on Tuesday (Day 5) to win the fourth and final Test against Australia at The Gabba, Brisbane.

India reached 4/0 in its chase on 328 in the extended final session on Monday before rain started pouring in and umpires were forced to call for early Stumps. Only 1.5 overs could be bowled in India's second innings on Day Four as Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill remained unbeaten on 4 and 0 respectively.

The weather forecast for the final day isn't great and Australia will be praying that rain gods stay away so that they can win the Brisbane Test and win the Border-Gavaskar series, a trophy which they lost in India's last tour of 2018-19. On the other hand, a draw in the game would be sufficient for India to retain the coveted trophy.

Earlier, India bowled out Australia for 294 in their second innings, after resuming the day on 21/0.
