Steve Smith made his intentions very clear from the first ball ever since he came out to bat on Day 2 of IND vs AUS 4th Test. The latter shifted gears from Day 1 and took on the Indian bowlers from the first ball of the day. The Indian bowlers also bowled some poor lines against both Steve Smith and Pat Cummins. This put the pressure back on the Indian team and no other Indian bowler apart from Jasprit Bumrah was able to build pressure back on the Australian team.
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 series is currently placed at 1-1 and the fourth Test is very essential from the World Test Championship 2024-25 final point of view.
