Team India have a massive task at hand in the ongoing India vs South Africa Test at the Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata. Shubman Gill & co. have been set a target of 124 runs by the Proteas on a pitch that is offering variable bounce to the bowlers and is tough for batting. Notably, the highest successful run chase in Tests in Kolkata is 117 runs, which India pulled off against the same opposition back in 2004.

After 117, the next-highest successful chase at the venue is 79, achieved by India against England in 1993, underscoring how difficult batting becomes in the fourth innings at Eden Gardens.
