In terms of mindset, we want to be ruthless. We are not satisfied with 2-0. If we have any chance to go 3-0 up, we try to achieve that. We will give our 100 percent: Virat Kohli

Having won the first and third Tests to take an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the four-match series, India will go into the final contest aiming to record their biggest series win over South Africa with a 3-0 verdict.

Victory in the fourth Test will propel India to the second spot in the ICC rankings. The hosts had started the series at the fifth position. They are currently at the fourth place having gained a place after Pakistan's 2-0 series victory over England earlier this month.

With the Feroz Shah Kotla pitch expected to retain its low and slow nature, the hosts may opt to retain their three-pronged spin attack consisting of in-form off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, leg-spinner Amit Mishra and left-armer Ravindra Jadeja. The trio has accounted for 47 of the 50 South African wickets to have fallen in this series.

With the series already in his pocket, team management may make some changes in the playing XI. Out-of-form Ajinkya Rahane could face axe in favour of another pacer in all-rounder Stuart Binny or fast bowler Varun Aaron.

The Proteas will continue their reign at the top of of the ICC list despite losing the series. If India lose the Delhi Test, they will end the series at third-ranked team with Australia at the second spot.

The South Africans will continue to miss pace spearhead Dale Steyn. In his absence, Morne Morkel will once again lead the Proteas attack.

Focus will also be on skipper Hashim Amla. He endured a run of poor scores in the series, but showed signs of returning to form during the second innings in Nagpur with a fighting 72-run partnership along with Faf du Plesis.

In bowling front, Proteas will also look to use JP Duminy.
