India Preview & Playing Squads
India will be stung by their loss and will be eager to respond in this game. They should be too strong for Australia with their spin bowling and batting strength.
After being sidelined owing to workload management ahead of the Third Test in Indore, Mohammed Shami is expected to return to the Eleven for this encounter, with Mohammed Siraj the most likely to miss out. Shubman Gill was chosen ahead of KL Rahul in the previous game and will keep his spot.

Australia Team Preview & Playing Squads
With their stunning win last week, Australia will come into this game with more confidence. They will, however, need to perform even better if they are to win this Test against a formidable India team at home.
With captain Pat Cummins still in Australia with his critically ill mother, Steve Smith will serve as stand-in skipper for this Test. No players have reported injuries following the game in Indore, and we anticipate seeing the same starting lineup.

India vs Australia outfield report
Narendra Modi Stadium
So far in the series, both captains have elected to bat first when they have won the toss. It would be a huge surprise if either captain chose to bat first after winning the toss in this Test.
We anticipate another Test to be played without interruptions due to rain or extremely high temperatures. Each day, the temperature will be in the low 20s at the start of play before rising to the high 30s in the mid-afternoon.
This venue has historically provided good spin-friendly surfaces, and after seeing similar pitches throughout the series, we anticipate more of the same in this Test.
