Steve Smith has played 105 ODI innings for the Aussies and scored 3,908 runs at an average of 42.02. The run machine needs another 92 runs to breach the 4,000-run mark in one-day cricket. Smith was in scintillating form in the second ODI, scoring a fighting 98 that kept Australia in with a chance.

The 30-year-old loves playing against the Men in Blue. He averages 55.42 against the Indians, and the master batsman will be looking to extend his good run against the home side in the crucial encounter.

Also, if Smith breaches the 4,000-run mark in the third ODI in Bangalore, he will become the fourth-fastest Australian batsman to get to the milestone (after David Warner, Dean Jones, and Aaron Finch). And, if he can do so, he will not only tick off an important milestone on his resume but will also give his side a very good chance of defeating India at home.
