Ind vs Aus: Australia elect to bat against India in 4th Test

NEW DELHI: Australia skipper Shane Watson won the toss and elected to bat against India in the fourth and final Test at the Feroze Shah Kotla stadium on Friday. Ajinkya Rahane replaced injured Shikhar Dhawan in the Indian squad while Australia replaced Matthew Wade, Mitchell Starc and Xaier Doherty with Brad Haddin, Mitchell Johnson and James Pattinson. Standing on the cusp of history, an upbeat India will go for the kill against a beleaguered Australia as they aim for an unprecedented 4-0 clean sweep by inflicting another defeat on the visitors. In their 81-year history of Test cricket, India have never won four consecutive Test matches in a series and Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his boys will certainly hold the distinction of being the first if they can get past Michael Clarke's men. Skipper Dhoni does not endorse the word 'revenge' in sport but there is no denying the fact that his band of boys will be keen on setting the record straight having lost the series 'Down Under' by an identical margin.
