New Zealand skipper Tom Latham won the toss and elected to bat against India in the third and final Test here on Friday.
Pacer Mohammed Siraj returned the side in place of Jasprit Bumrah, who has not fully recovered from his viral illness, in the only change to India's playing XI.
Having sealed the series 2-0, the visitors made two changes to their line-up.
Left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner, who starred in the Pune Test with a 13-wicket match haul is out with a side strain. Leg spinner Ish Sodhi replaced Santner while pacer Matt Henry has come in for Tim Southee.
