    Aussie run machine Steve Smith will be taking on Indian spin wizard Ravichandran Ashwin in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, starting February 9. Smith is back to scoring hundreds and will look to extend his solid touch. Meanwhile, Ashwin has a truckload of experience and is almost unplayable in the conditions at home. We decode Smith's performance against Ashwin in Tests.

    Why does this story matter?

    • Both Smith and Ashwin will be the go-to men for Australia and India, respectively, in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
    • With valuable ICC World Test Championship (WTC) points on offer, the duo will be banked heavily by their sides in a quest to come on top in the encounters.
    • Interestingly, both have had their fair share of success over each other in the whites.

He also scored a match-winning ton (109) in the series opener in Pune.

    Ashwin's numbers against Australia in Tests
