Australia chose to bat against India

Australia's stand-in-skipper Steve Smith won the toss and chose to bat first in their series decider against India for Wednesday's third one-day international in Chennai.

The visitors made two changes to the side that routed their hosts in Sunday's last match at Visakhapatnam.

Warner returns

Opener David Warner returns from his second Test elbow hairline fracture for all-rounder Cameron Green while spinner Ashton Agar replaces pacer Nathan Ellis.

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma fielded an unchanged team.

The two top-ranked 50-over teams are warming up for the ODI World Cup in India later this year.
