India vs Australia 4th Test LIVE Updates:

India pulled off a big surprise as Australia captain Pat Cummins opted to bat first after winning the toss on Thursday. While Australia had already announced their playing XI for the Boxing Day Test, India decided to drop Shubman Gill from the team. Instead, the tourists decided to add spin-bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar to the team. Interesting times ahead. The series, meanwhile, is level 1-1, with both teams winning a game apiece before the third Test ended in a draw at Brisbane. (
