The third Test had ended in a 4-4 draw after India won the first two Test matches 3-0 and 5-0.
Taking the field with all reserve players, India did experiment with some combinations, both in defence and the offence line but did not get the desired results. On the other hand, the home team, putting up a much better improved play did try to match their more experienced opponents in every department of the game.
Holding the visitors goalless for three quarters was a no mean achievement. Had it not been for the sparkle and quick reflection action on the part of Lalremsiami, the match could have ended in a draw.
