"Am I going to be a 100 per cent? It is highly doubtful. But I will be doing everything I can to be able to get on that park and play and even if I am not a 100 per cent I will let the selectors give me that green light," Warner said.

While the inclusion of KL Rahul or Shubman Gill as opener will be known only after the team’s announcement, former Indian cricketer and commentator Sanjay Manjrekar suggested Cheteshwar Pujara to open the innings.

Bangar believes that India should tweak their winning opening combination and should give a chance to Mayank Agarwal alongside Shikhar Dhawan.

At the end of the day's play, the Black Caps were nicely placed 243/2 with Williamson and Ross Taylor batting at the crease on 97 and 31 respectively.

Kohli, who will miss the rest of the three Tests, will return home as his wife Anushka Sharma is expecting the birth of their first child in early January.
