Both teams will feel let down as they had an opportunity to go 1-0 ahead in the five test match series. The hosts required 9 wickets whereas India needed 157 runs. The two teams will get 4 WTC points for a draw.
The start of day five got delayed twice following which an early Lunch was taken. There was supposed to be an inspection at IST 7pm but that did not happen as rains continued. Virat Kohli will feel robbed off a win as India had 9 wickets in hand and required just 157 runs to win.
