New Delhi: After losing the Border Gavaskar Trophy, the Australian cricket team under the leadership of Steve Smith made a spectacular comeback in the ODI series. Hardly anyone would have thought after the BGT that Australia would beat India 2-1 in the ODI series on their own soil. Because it is almost impossible to beat Team India at their home. Let us tell you that in the last 4 years, Rohit Sharma & Co. had not lost an international series at home. But Steve Smith’s Australian team put a stop to this victory chariot. In such a situation, now Smith’s captaincy is being praised fiercely, due to which Team India’s veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin himself has read ballads in his praise.

Australia’s captain on the Indian tour was Pat Cummins. But after his mother’s health deteriorated, he returned to his country. In such a situation, Steve Smith was appointed as the captain of the team in his place. Cummins was the captain in the first two Tests of the Border Gavaskar Trophy in which Australia’s performance was very disappointing. But after this, since Smith took charge of the team, his way of playing changed. Under Smith’s leadership, Australia have played 5 matches on this Indian tour, out of which they have lost only 1. Whereas in 3 he has won. However, the Test match played in Ahmedabad was a draw.
