Steve Smith Struggles in Australia-India Test Series

Steve Smith's struggles continue in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy, with his recent performance yielding only 179 runs in his last 10 Test innings, raising questions about his future in the team. Despite his form issues, Australia is in a strong position in the second Test after dismissing India for 180 runs, with Mitchell Starc taking eight wickets. Travis Head has emerged as a key player for Australia, drawing comparisons to Virender Sehwag for his aggressive batting style. Marnus Labuschagne also faced pressure due to his recent poor form but managed to score steadily with Nathan McSweeney in the second Test. India, after a promising start, succumbed to a quick succession of wickets, ending their innings poorly. As the series progresses, expectations remain high for both teams, with Australia aiming for a comeback after losing the first Test.
