IND Vs AUS Test: Australia won the toss and elected to bat in the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India

Australia captain Steve Smith won the toss and elected to bat first in the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India on Thursday. Smith said after the toss, ‘We will bat first. There is no change in the team. Pitch is looking good. The team performed well last week. We will wait and see (whether we will get a chance to lead Australia in India or not.)’ India captain Rohit Sharma said, ‘We would have batted first too. We know what needs to be done. Siraj has been rested and Shami is back.

It is always good to take a break for some time. We need to regroup as a team, you can look at a number of things. It is not the same pitch that we saw in the first three Tests. I hope it will remain like this for all the five days. Indian XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Shrikar Bharat (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav. Australian XI: Travis Head, Usman Khawaja , Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith (c), Peter Handscomb, Cameron Green, Alex Carey (wk), Mitchell Starc, Todd Murphy, Matthew Kuhneman, Nathan Lyon.
