Steve Smith on Indian Tracks: The Indian team will play a four-Test series against Australia in February-March. This series will start from 9th February. The first match of the series will be played in Nagpur. Even before this Border Gavaskar series, Australia’s star batsman Steve Smith has expressed his intentions. He has told that he likes to play on the spin pitches of India. Smith has already warned the Indian team before the Test series to be played in 2023.
Smith said about India, “I think some wickets in the subcontinent suit my style of play. I really enjoy playing on those spinning tracks, it’s a lot of fun and there’s always something happening. But you know, if they are not spinning and they are a bit flat, then you have to go for a big score there. That’s definitely one thing I’ll tell the boys when we get there. This is my experience and you can only play according to the pitch in front of you.
Earlier trouble was made for India
Earlier Australia toured India in 2017. Steve Smith was seen in good form in this tour. He added 499 runs in 4 Tests with the help of 3 centuries. Even in 2023, he can become a problem for the Indian team. Before this, the year 2022 has passed very well for him. He scored runs in 2022 at an average of 58.40 in Tests and 67.37 in ODIs. Due to his brilliant performance, he once again won the Allan Border Medal last Saturday night.
International career has been like this so far
Smith has played a total of 92 Tests, 139 ODIs and 63 T20 Internationals in his career so far. In this, he has scored 8647 runs in 162 Test innings at an average of 60.89.
