India vs Australia 2023

Five Players to watch out for in Border-Gavaskar Trophy

#4 Steve Smith

Steve Smith has been Australia’s top Test batter for quite some time. The unorthodox technique that he uses while dawning the whites has made it very tough for bowlers to get him out. The right-handed batter has scored 8647 runs in 92 matches at an average of 60.89 and a strike rate of 54.38.

He has scored 30 hundreds and 37 fifties, which highlights his strong conversion rate. The key battle to watch out for in the series will be Ravichandran Ashwin against Smith. In 2021, in the series against Australia, Ashwin had the wood over Smith and the 33-year-old will look to set things right against his nemesis.
