Nagpur: Even though India were reeling on 87-4 in reply to India’s first innings total of 330, Piyush Chawla still feels that they can make a comeback in the match if the unbeaten Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni can put up a good performance in the morning session tomorrow.

“We lost a few quick wickets but we still have two good batsmen and seeing the ball really well. Let us hope for the best because the way these guys are middling the ball we could have a good session tomorrow,” said Chawla after the second day’s play here.

The morning session will be important. If we manage to play around 30-45 minutes without losing a wicket then we will be in a good position,” added Chawla.

The leg spinner denied any such thing that poor show of the batters have put an adverse effect on the bowling unit.

“This is a phase that happens. It is not that our batting has flopped big time as we have managed to get around 300-350 in every match. It has not affected the bowlers. As a bowling unit we have done well,” he said.

Talking about the pitch, Chawla said, “I think the wicket was playing a little better today, it was coming on to the bat when we were bowling in the morning. Let us see how it plays in the next three days, may be tomorrow onwards it will start turning a bit more.”

“We thought if we get one wicket to start with in the morning we can stop them somewhere under the 300-run mark but Joe Root and Matt Prior batted really well. But when we broke that partnership we recovered really well,” said Chawla.
