Steven Smith, Captain of Australia Cricket Team, mark the following tour of India as extraordinary. For him, a well-played game by India is always a "one of the all-time greats".

He says "If you do well in India, this will give you massive credit. This tour can get you to the status of one of the all-time greats. Yep, if I can have a big series, then we are well on the way to doing well in this series."

"A win on this tour would be huge with the Ashes coming. If there is a tied series, that would be a huge tick for you! Absolutely a huge tick. A lot of people have written us off. We aren't really thinking of results. We just need to get our processes right." He verbalized.

Smith, who is already recognized as one of the best players of spin, is no stranger to the responsibilities he has. He said if Australia were to do all right themselves in India, he has to crack it too.

"I generally have been a good player of spin. I have my plans that I stick to and understand what works and what doesn't. I learned a bit from Sri Lanka. I just stick to my game plan under pressure. I can't be content on little hundreds if I got there. It's about scoring big ones,"  the right-handed batsman uttered.

Convinced by the fact that Virat Kohli as a captain knows the traits of his players well, he said "Yes, definitely. That's my job to understand what makes them tick and help develop game plans that work for them. The boys often come to me on tactics and strategies. The training here in Dubai has been great as it's an open forum for honest discussions on each other's strengths and weaknesses."
