It is a must-win game for South Africa, who trail the tourists 3-1 in the six-match series.

"We’ve heard that the ball is skidding on under (new) lights and comes on to the bat nicely, so that’s the main reason for us bowling first," said South African captain Aiden Markram. "With a bit of cloud cover today maybe we can get some movement and strike early."

Indian captain Virat Kohli said he would have preferred to bowl. 

"But it looks a pretty good wicket," Kohli added.

"It's a must-win game for them, we have the lead and the advantage so we would like to put some decent runs on the board for them to chase down."

India were unchanged, while South Africa picked left-arm wrist spinner Tabraiz Shamsi in place of all-rounder Chris Morris, who has a back strain.
