IND vs AUS Highlights, 4th Test Day 1: Khawaja's gritty 104* takes AUS to 255/4 at Stumps vs India, Green nearing 50

Both captains get felicitated! Rohit receives his cap from Narendra Modi, while Smith gets it from the Aussie PM.

Toss is scheduled for 9:00 AM IST, and there is a Garba performance going on in the venue. Stay tuned folks for some exciting cricket!

Both prime minister are present at the Narendra Modi Stadium for Day 1, in Ahmedabad. The presence of Narendra Modi and Anthony Albanese makes it a bigger match, and also the crowd is huge. India will be aiming to graba series-clinching 3-1 victory. Meanwhile, the visitors will hope to level the series 2-2.

Ahead of the match, former player Jaffer had a warning for Rohit and Co. ahead of the final Test, and also shared his prediction. Speaking on ESPNCricinfo, he said, "I think India will make a better comeback. It's a good wake-up call. They must improve on their batting, especially the likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Shubman Gill as they are due for runs. The top five should help the Indian bowlers with runs. If they score 300-400 runs, their bowlers become a lot better. Virat Kohli is due for runs big-time and I expect him to return to his old form and hopefully, India wins the Test match."

There is no chance of rain trying to interfere with the final Test in Ahmedabad, although around 30 percent cloud cover on average is predicted to be there during the match. Temperature will be between 30 and 38 degrees Celsius with humidity also expected to be on the higher side.

It is expected that India will stick to their combination of having two spinners and three fast bowlers in the playing XI. The hosts could include Shami and rest Siraj for the final Test. Meanwhile, although Kishan is also in the squad, Bharat is expected to continue with his role as the main wicketkeeper-batter.

Meanwhile, the visitors will be probably putting in more seamers in the bowling department for the first innings and so we could see more action from Green. He only bowled two overs in Indore.

In what could probably be his last Test in India, Smith said, "I probably can't see myself coming back really, if I'm being realistic. But we'll wait and see, take it day by day, four years is a long time. I'll enjoy this one, hopefully it's a great crowd and we can entertain them and ideally finish the series really well."

Recently, Rohit responded to Shastri's criticism of the Indian team being overconfident for the third Test match. "Honestly, when you win two games, if the people outside are feeling that we are overconfident, it's absolutely rubbish, because you want to do your best in all four games. You don't want to stop by winning just two games, it is as simple as that. Obviously, all these guys, when they talk about being overconfident and all that, especially the guys who are not part of the dressing room, they don't know what kind of talk happens in the dressing room. Ruthless is the word that comes to my mind", he said.

"Not to give any inch to the opposition when they are playing, especially when they're touring abroad, and that is exactly what we have also experienced when we have toured outside. The opposition will never let you come into the game, never let you come into the series. And that is the mindset we have as well. We want to do our best in all the games. If it seems overconfident or anything like that to the outsiders, it doesn't really matter to us", he further added.
