When you chase a total of 350-370 then it's your opening partnership which sets the tone for the batters to come. Gabba was possible because Gill gave a perfect start for India, with Pujara hanging in the middle and later Pant finishing the match. It would require same effort!

Seems like Ganguly is trying his best to patch up with Kohli.
