India vs Australia, 4th Test, Day 1 Live Score Updates: Australia skipper Steve Smith won the toss and opted to bat against India in the fourth and final Test. Rohit Sharma-led Team India will eye a World Test Championship final berth when they face Australia in the fourth and final Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The match kicks off on March 9 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. While the guests have already confirmed themselves a spot in the WTC final with the win in Indore — the third Test, the hosts would be needing a win in the final game to avoid any dependency on Sri Lanka, who are playing in New Zealand in a two-match series. In the first two games, India dominated, but Australia made a good comeback in the third Test to trail the series 1-2. (LIVE SCORECARD)
