Australia coach Darren Lehmann is in favour of doing away with the toss, and feels that the flip of the coin won't have any bearing on the result of the upcoming Test series in India.
Lehmann has already expressed his reservations about the toss and feels that a visiting side should be given the option of choosing whether to bat or bowl.
We won four tosses last time we were here and lost 4-0. You’ve still got to play well if you win a toss. My views on the toss is that it should just go anyway, that’s the way I’ve always been. Whether you’re here or Australia, it doesn’t matter.Darren Lehmann to Australian Associated Press
Australia lost the last Test series against India 4-0 in 2013 after winning the toss in every match.
The Australian coach said he is expecting friendly pitches to be prepared in the four-Test series, starting Thursday in Pune. "They produce good wickets, so looking forward to good five-day Test (pitches) that deteriorate over five days," Lehmann said.
