Talking about Sydney, India stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah won the toss and decided to bat first. “We are looking to bat first. We have played some good cricket. The last match was exciting. The grass does not look hot. We have always learned how to digest defeats. We will look forward to this.”

Why is Mitchell not playing today?
In his pre-Test press conference, Australia Captain Pat cumin Confirmed Mitchell Marsh's exclusion from the squad. “Mitchie (Mitchell Marsh) obviously didn't get the full runs, or maybe the wickets that he would have liked in this series,” Cummins said during the press conference ahead of the SCG Test.
“So we felt it was time to renew and step up, and Bo was with the team. He was fantastic. So it's a shame for Michi, because we know how much he brings to the team, but now I feel it's a good thing a week until Bo gets a chance,” he added.
Cummins also revealed that Marsh humbly accepted the decision. “He was completely understanding,” Cummins said. Cummins said: “I think his words weren't necessarily surprising. He knows he hasn't scored the runs or taken the wickets he would have liked. That leaves you vulnerable.”
Beau Webster replaced Mitchell Marsh
Mitchell Marsh has been replaced by Tasmania-based all-rounder Beau Webster. Webster is a right-handed fielder and right-arm medium-pace bowler. He can bat anywhere in the middle order and can bowl well as well.
Webster appeared in 93 first-class matches for Tasmania. In these 93 matches, he scored 5297 runs at an average of 37.83 with a best of 187 runs. He also took 148 wickets at an average of 37.39.
