Does Inclement Brisbane weather affect the decision after the IND vs AUS toss?

 

Weather reports suggest that seam bowlers will likely receive help from the overcast conditions. Given both teams possess quality fast bowlers, they will likely avoid batting first after winning the toss—especially the Indian side, which has experienced a series of collapses while batting first in recent times.

 

India has batted first in both Tests so far in the series but has failed to surpass the 200-run mark on each occasion.
