The Proteas can complete a first clean-sweep of a three-test series against the sub-continent side, having already secured wins in Cape Town and Pretoria earlier this month.
A 3-0 series victory would not see South Africa take over from India at the top of the International Cricket Council's rankings, but would move them to within decimal points of doing so. With a four-test series to come against Australia in March, top spot would be tantalisingly close.
"I don't think we'll make changes for the third test just for the sake of giving opportunities. We want to keep our foot on the gas and apply as much pressure as possible," Du Plessis told reporters.
"It doesn't happen a lot that you get the chance to beat a team 3-0 and I would favour dominating India and being ruthless.
"We can use the ODIs and T20s to try and rotate players. We have an amazing opportunity as a team to win 3-0, and that makes us even more hungry to go where no team has gone before."
The match can be watched live on Sony Ten network with telecast in both hindi and english. The live streaming will be available on sonyliv.com. The live telecast will start at 1.30 PM IST
