It’s just a situation for me so it doesn’t really bother me too much – Steve Smith Steve Smith (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Team India is going to tour Australia in November for a five-match Test series under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

But now Steve Smith has not been able to show anything special in the opening position. He played an innings of 91 runs in the Gaba Test against West Indies, which is his first fifty-plus score in four innings while opening. I am not upset in any way- Steve Smith Australian batsman Steve Smith says that he just wants to score runs for the team in the home Test series against India and is not too worried about his batting position. Steve Smith said while talking on Code Sports, You’ll have to ask the men in charge but I’m not upset in any way. There’s some challenging conditions with the new ball. So I would love to score a few more runs. Sometimes that’s how it is, but I played quite well in the second innings at the Gabba where unfortunately we couldn’t get the win. It’s just a situation for me so it doesn’t really bother me too much. Smith wants to play IPL again Steve Smith has expressed his disappointment over not being included in the Australian squad for the T20 World Cup 2024. Smith has also expressed his desire to play in the IPL again. I don’t know about international T20. You’ll have to ask the selectors. I was disappointed not to be in the World Cup but that’s the way things go. They all want big hitters. I would definitely love to be part of the IPL again. So just keep scoring runs, you never know anything can happen.

IND vs SA, Final: South Africa’s biggest challenge is to deal with Bumrah-Kuldeep, former veteran gave such a suggestion

Let us tell you that the South African cricket team has reached the final of a World Cup for the first time, the team is just one step away from its first ICC title. Meanwhile, before the final match, South African player Morne Morkel has given a big statement while giving advice to the team. IND vs SA: South African team should not think too much – Morne Morkel In the T20 World Cup 2024, Rohit Sharma and company have made their mark in all three departments – bowling, batting or fielding. Facing India in the final is going to be full of challenges for the South African team. Morne Morkel suggested to the team that the team should not think too much against India. And should stick to the plan to deal with players like Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav. Jasprit Bumrah has taken 13 wickets in 7 matches in the ongoing tournament, while Kuldeep Yadav has taken 10 wickets in just 4 matches. It will be a big challenge for South Africa to deal with these two bowlers. Morne Morkel, while speaking on ESPNcricinfo, said, I think you need to play in the moment. Yes, they know that Jasprit can take wickets later on. When he bowls two overs, he will prove to be important in the death overs. So will they start building pressure a little earlier in that batting innings to get to a respectable score? Honestly, I think we can’t think too much about it. Kuldeep is obviously incredible in the middle overs for India, he is a wicket-taker. He can stop the game, create a lot of pressure. South Africa need to get out of those panics and those moments and take it ball by ball.
