Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja comes into the XI after missing the first two tests, batsman Rohit Sharma has also been recalled and Mayank Agarwal is set to make his debut.
In the Perth Test, argument got so animated between the two skippers that at one-point umpire had to come between them to sort things out.
Virat Kohli and Tim Paine clashed on several occasions during the second Test in Perth which India lost by 146 runs.
"Kohli focused too much attention on Paine and not enough on the job at hand -- winning the game," Chappell wrote.
Johnson was offended with Kohli for not acknowledging the standing ovation at Perth stadium after his dismissal.
"Tim Paine is the toughest pretty boy I've seen, but he is incredibly impressive as a captain and a person," says Langer.
The two captains were consistently involved in banter during the match but both insisted that no line was crossed.
The only noticeable change is that uncapped pacer Chris Tremain, who did not travel to Perth for the second Test either, has been released from the list.
The two skippers had quite a bit of banter in the middle, so much so that they almost made physical contact at one point.
Virat Kohli and Tim Paine didn't read too much into their on-field confrontations and said it is fine as long as the 'line' is not crossed.
The video show that at least on Kohli's part there is still some animosity left towards his counterpart.
Ponting stated that whatever happened on the field was "lighthearted" and "quite funny at times."
It was an outstanding bowling effort by Lyon who claimed a match-bag of 8-106.
It helps a lot to have a good bowler at the other end, who has the same mentality as you and is keeping things tight.
While standing up to the stumps, Paine said to Vijay: "I know he's your captain but you can't seriously like him as a bloke".
The warring duo almost came close to chest bumping when Virat Kohli walked in front of Tim Paine while he was completing a run.
It led to quite a talkative Kohli on the field during Australia's second innings, which carried on until stumps, with both captains exchanging words.
A 112-run opening stand between Marcus Harris (70) and Aaron Finch (50) vindicated their decision to bat on green top before Indian bowlers made a decent recovery.
Hanuma Vihari and Ishant Sharma were the picks of the bowlers for India by taking two wickets each on the first Day of Perth Test.
Australia captain Tim Paine said that the Perth pitch won't play that badly despite it having a green tinge all over it.
