India captain Virat Kohli has won the toss and elected to bat against Australia in the first Test in Adelaide.

The visitors have included Rohit Sharma at No. 6 ahead of Hanuma Vihari.

Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Ishant Sharma are the three frontline fast bowlers for India, while Ravichandran Ashwin is the lone spinner.

"He is one guy who can play really well with the tail. He has got all the shots you can play in Australia," Kohli reasoned.

Australia have handed Marcus Harris his Test debut, he is set to open the innings.
