INDORE, India : Steve Smith knows how difficult it is to win a test in India so Australia's stand-in captain was thrilled to bits after guiding his team to a nine-wicket victory in the third test in Indore on Friday.

Leading the side as regular skipper Pat Cummins flew home to be with his ailing mother, Smith marshalled his bowlers well and took a stunning catch to dismiss Cheteshwar Pujara whose second innings 59 was the only half-century by an Indian in the low-scoring match. "For us to get on top in this game, particularly after losing the toss ... it shows the talent in this group and the belief we've got in ourselves."

Smith captained Australia during the 2014-2018 period but was stripped of the role following a ball-tampering scandal in South Africa.
