Virat Kohli will be the captain of the Indian Team for the
Fourth and Final Test against Australia to be played in
Sydney from the January 6, 2015.
Meanwhile, Australia reclaimed the Border-Gavaskar
trophy with a draw in the third test, as India resisted the
home team's attack and batted out the final afternoon
session.
Virat Kohli (54) and Ajinkya Rahane (48) led India's
resistance after an early collapse, and the visitors
reached 174-6 chasing the improbable victory target of
384, with stumps called four overs early.
Australia, knowing a draw would be enough to secure a
series victory, waited until lunch to declare its second
innings at 318-9, and ran out of time to bowl India out.
