Kohli further said, ‘For us, he and Marnus Labuschagne are the main players in his team. Labuschagne is playing good cricket and he along with Smith controls the Australian middle order. Smith has always scored runs against India. It will be our endeavor to get him out as soon as possible, because if he plays for a long time, he can make a match-winning impact. Let us tell you that Smith, who made his Test debut in 2010, has played 96 Tests so far, scoring 8,792 runs at an average of 59.80. He has scored 30 centuries and 37 half-centuries.
