Australia captain Steve Smith won the toss and elected to bat first in the fourth and final Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Thursday. Having won the third match at Indore, Australia need to win this Test to level the series 2-2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
They decided to go into this Test with an unchanged squad.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"We are going to have a bat, playing with the same team. Looks like a nice surface, does look like a good wicket. The guys performed well last week," Smith said at the toss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India skipper Rohit Sharma said he would have also batted first.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"We would have batted first. We know what needs to be done. We need to regroup as a team, you can reflect on so many things. Not the surface what we saw in the first three Tests, looks like a good pitch, I hope it stays the same for all five days," said Rohit Sharma.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India made one change, bringing in Mohammad Shami in place of a rested Mohammed Siraj.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
