PLAYING XIs
INDIA: Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Kedar Jadhav, Vijay Shankar, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah
AUSTRALIA: Aaron Finch (c), Usman Khawaja, Peter Handscomb, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Ashton Turner, Alex Carey (wk), Jhye Richardson, Pat Cummins, Adam Zampa, Nathan Lyon
CAPTAINS AT THE TOSS
Aaron Finch: Batting first. Looks like a dry wicket. Hopefully we can get a big score and defend it later. The wicket and the squares have been re-laid over the last few years, so we can't look into the numbers much. Not a lot of international cricket here over the last 10 years. It's important to keep the momentum, whenever you get the opportunities with the bat, take it, and take the team across the line. Shaun Marsh misses out for Stoinis, Lyon comes in for Behrendorff.
Virat Kohli: We have to first restrict them with the ball, and we are the one of the best chasing sides in the world and we have to show that today. In terms of team composition, we know which way we are going. Chahal misses out and Jadeja comes in as an all-rounder, and KL misses out to make way for Shami. An extra bowling option for us, and this, we feel is our most balanced side.

12:40 pm The toss is 20 minutes away, as the two teams warm up for the big match.
12:30 pm Welcome once again to Timesofindia.com's coverage of Australia's tour of India. The ODI leg of the tour has reached its final destination in Delhi, and the five-match series is tantalizingly poised at 2-2 ahead of the decider today at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground.
It's also the last game of the tour for Australia, but more interestingly and importantly, it's the last ODI for India ahead of the World Cup beginning in less than three-months' time.
India won the first two ODIs in Hyderabad and Nagpur, and just when it looked that Virat Kohli & Co are on their way to another impressive series victory, the Aussies roared back to win in Ranchi and Mohali to square it at 2-2.
India's failure to defend 358 in Mohali will be a major concern as the Aussie batsmen, led by centurion Peter Handscomb, controlled the middle overs to chase down a big total.
The track at Feroz Shah Kotla ground in Delhi is expected to be slow, low and of assistance to spinners. And while India have the potent Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal in their ranks, the success of Adam Zampa against Virat Kohli gives the Aussie bowling unit that tweaker they are so desperately searching for ahead of the World Cup.
