The Kiwis were tottering at 93 for four in their second innings with the exuberant Luke Ronchi (38) and the steady Mitchell Santner (8) at the crease when stumps were drawn on the fourth day. The Black Caps require a history-defying effort to win the Test as no team has ever chased such a daunting target. They still need 341 runs and batting three sessions on a fifth-day wicket is not something visiting teams have achieved often in India. He is only the ninth Indian to get that figure but fastest among all, doing it in his 37th match. Ashwin is the second fastest in the world behind Australian Clarrie Grimmett (36 matches).
