    Steve Smith highlights one of his major career goals

    What's the story

    Australian star batsman Steve Smith believes India is one of the toughest places to play cricket and winning a Test series in the country is a major career goal for him.

    Smith has appeared in two Test series in India and ended up on the losing side both times.

    Here's what the Australia batsman had to say.

    I would love to win a series there, says Smith

    "I think as an Australian cricketer we talk about like Ashes is always big, World Cup is big but I think now India is the No 1 team in the world and it is a very difficult place to play Test cricket, so I would love to win a series there," Smith told Ish Sodhi during a podcast organized by Rajasthan Royals.

    Smith vs India

    Smith has enjoyed personal success in India

    Smith has featured in six Test matches in India.

    In a two-Test series in 2013, Smith amassed scores of 92, 5, 46 and 18.

    His best moment came in 2017, where he amassed 27, 109, 8, 28, 178*, 21, 111 and 17.

    With three centuries in three matches, Smith averages a staggering 60.00 against India at their own backyard.

    He has seven hundreds and three fifties.

    I want to take things day by day: Smith

    Talking about his other targets, Smith said, "I would not like to set too many goals, but take things day by day, series by series, just try to improve. It has been a pretty long year with the World Cup and Ashes, a few away one day tours. So this rest is not the worst thing but hopefully it is for a few weeks."
