The hosts lead the four-match Test series 1-0 after winning the first match in Mohali by 108 runs and the Bangalore Test being washed out by rain resulting in a draw.

The third Test begins on November 25 in Nagpur while a final decision on the hosting of the fourth and final Test, to be held at FerozeShah Kotla, is yet to be taken, after the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) was not given clearance by the state government relating to tax issues.

The confirmation on the venue is expected in the coming days.

If Delhi fails to get the clearance, BCCI will shift the Test match to Pune.
