Last time, when Australia toured India in December 2017 for four match test series, it had turned out one of the most controversial affair of all time. Now, as Steve Smith-led team is again touring India for five ODIs and three T20Is this month, captain has said that the bilateral series will be played in “good spirit.”
“I think it’ll be played in good spirit,” the skipper said on Sunday .
“It’s always a hard-fought contest playing against India and we’re excited by the challenge of playing over here. “Looking back to the last one-day tour of India, I wasn’t on it in 2013, but it was a big run-fest from memory with pretty flat wickets and big totals. We’ll see what we’re presented with but it could be the same again,” he added.
