Dharamshala, Mar 25 (IBNS): Australian captain Steven Smith has won the coin toss and opted to bat first here on Saturday, day one of the fourth and the final Test match of the ongoing edition of the Border-Gavaskar trophy.

Meanwhile, the Indian team made a couple of changes as an injured Virat Kohli was left out of the side, making way for Ajinkya Rahane to lead the side.

India have also opted for medium pacer Bhuvaneshwar Kumar in place of pacer Ishant Sharma.

Virat's absence also marked the debut Test for left arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav.

The HPCA is presently hosting its first official Test match.
