Chasing fourth-innings targets above 300 has been challenging for India at home, with only one successful chase out of 26 instances. In the ongoing Test series against New Zealand, India faces a difficult task, needing 359 runs in Pune after conceding a first-innings lead and struggling with the bat. New Zealand won the first Test in Bengaluru by eight wickets to take 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
