Going into the match, India`s primary cause of concern, though, could be the blow star batsman Cheteshwar Pujara suffered during a net session on Tuesday.

Architect of India`s victory in the second Test in Hyderabad with a magnificent double ton, Pujara was hit on the left knee by a local pace bowler as he was batting in the nets. The batsman looked in considerable pain as he was forced to leave the nets.
After getting medical attention, Pujara had his left-knee strapped and didn`t take any further part in the training session.
But, indications are that the Saurashtra batsman would be part of the playing XI, much to the chagrin of the Australian bowlers who have so far struggled to contain the technically solid India number three.
Even as the Australians will have some thinking to do as far as selecting their playing XI is concerned, India, save for the dropped Virender Sehwag, might be tempted to take the field with more or less the same winning combination.
Of course, getting left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha for off-break bowler Harbhajan Singh, is one option the hosts, led admirably by Mahendra Singh Dhoni, will ponder over ahead of the penultimate match.
With Sehwag out of reckoning, Delhi boy Shikhar Dhawan -- who is waiting for his maiden Test call-up -could also get an opportunity to open the batting alongside Murali Vijay, who slammed a big century in the last Test to cement his place for the time being after a run of poor scores.
The middle-order wears a settled look with the young Pujara, Virat Kohli and veteran Sachin Tendulkar holding fort.
In the nets, Tendulkar concentrated on playing the spinners mainly and faced a lot of deliveries from Harbhajan and Ojha.
