Far from being disheartened by the loss of quick wickets just before close, Cheteshwar Pujara feels India can force a win if they bat well on Saturday.
"The way I started playing shots, I expected that they will be on the defensive mode but when they have 537 runs on board the plan is very simple, first to reach that mark. And obviously we have a bright chance to win the game if we bat well on Saturday," said Pujara who scored an attacking 124.
"The ball will start turning from on Saturday and batting on day five will be difficult. At the moment I don t want to talk too much about it," said Pujara, who himself along with Murali Vijay were dismissed in the final session.
Pujara based his optimism on his deep knowledge of the SCA Stadium track and at a venue where he has a first class triple hundred to boast of. "We are still in a good position once we bat well and get a lead of 60-70 runs which will help us in the second innings. It's a good wicket to bat on."
