India will need a record chase at the MCG to win the fourth Test against Australia and take a 2-1 lead in the series. India will already require a record chase, with no team successfully chasing as many runs to win a Test at the MCG. India, who have chased down a target of more than 300 for a Test victory thrice - the latest of which came at the Gabba in January 2021, when they made 329-7, will be on the back foot once their innings begins, but they do have a strong batting line-up, with Washington Sundar coming out at No.8.
