INDORE: One doesn’t know if the term ‘match-winning captaincy’ is a thing, but Steve Smith sure served up an example of it in the Indore Test.
In the process, he showed yet again that he is a natural in the leadership role, ‘SanderpaperGate’ controversy notwithstanding. Australian cricket may have paid a heavy price by denying him the top job for so long, except in situations where he stands in for Pat Cummins, like in the third Test here, and proves all over again how good he is tactically compared to the regular skipper.
