Australian captain Steve Smith says they will come back hard to give India a tough competition. Smith will also play his 100th ODI match on Thursday and in the pre-match press conference shared his journey From starting as a leg-break bowler to scoring a hundred in a high-pressure World Cup semi-final.
“I think I have evolved a lot as a white ball player. When I first started playing one-day cricket, my first 30-odd games, I played more as a bowler. I had to change a bit there. I’ve been batting at No 3 now for a while now,” Smith said.
“I had to find the right tempo for the game, whether it’s hitting boundaries or finding the right time to hit a right boundary. You learn as you play. It’s pretty exciting to play my 100th game tomorrow,” Smith added.
