Smith has led Australia in 38 Tests between 2014 and 2023. Under his leadership, the Aussies won 21, lost 10, and drew six Tests. Smith has racked up 3,867 runs at an incredible average of 66.67 while leading in Tests.

Rishabh Pant remained unbeaten on six, while Ravindra Jadeja stood on four. Three late wickets in the final half-hour halted India's momentum, which had built to 153-2 earlier in the day. Scott Boland and Pat Cummins took two wickets each.

In the event that Cummins does miss the tour, either Steve Smith or Travis Head will step up to lead the Australian side.

Australia will tour Sri Lanka to play the two-match Test series from January 29. The schedule coincides with the expected delivery dates of Cummin's second child with his wife Becky.
