File pic[/caption] Internet Desk: Australian cricket team captain Steve Smith thinks that their success in this tour will be depending on how they dominate India’s left arm chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav when the two sides face each other in the first match of the five-match ODI series at Chennai on Sunday. The Aussies called in local left-arm wrist spinner KK Jiyas to help prepare for Kuldeep’s guile during net practice in Chennai. Young Kuldeep Yadav will battle for a spot in the playing XI with left-arm spinner Axar Patel and leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Ahead of the match the Aussie skipper said that the left arm talents are rare “around the world”.”They’re different so it’s good to be able to get someone who bowls a bit of that,” Smith told reporters on the eve of the game. “He is a good young talent and can be difficult to pick at times. He’s someone who you have to watch really closely. Hopefully we can put him under pressure early in his spell and try and take him for as many as we can,” Smith added. According to Smith the top order batsman of his squad would have to play a key role as the matches are expected to be a high-scoring affair.”Spin has always played a pretty big part in ODIs particularly in these conditions. I’d say it’ll play a reasonable part throughout this series too,” he said. There is talk that the series could turn out to be a run feast, but Smith said he would wait to take a look at the pitches before assuming anything. "We saw that the last time we came here in 2013 it was a run-fest where 350 was around par. It's difficult to say. Every ground is going to be different. I think it's about summing things up quickly at every ground. I couldn't tell you if it is going to be a run fest. It depends on the pitches," he said. Smith has been a key member of the batting unit and has been hugely consistent since taking over as captain. In 41 matches at the helm in ODIs, he has 1,740 runs at an average of 51.18 with five hundreds and 10 fifties. Asked if a lot depended on him, he said, "I think it's important for someone in the top four to go on and make a big score. I think we have the guys to do that. It's important in any country. We saw that the last time we came here in 2013 it was a run-fest where 350 was around par." The team is blessed with a number of all-rounders, but the captain said the line-up would depend on the conditions. "We have got a spinning all-rounder, we've got all-rounders that take pace off the ball and things like that. We have got a few different options but we will go in with what we think is best for the conditions. "We're not going to name our team today. We're going to have a look again tomorrow and see what we think is the best (XI). There is a bit of weather around, might be a bit of rain around tomorrow as well. Gives us a chance to have a look at that and then we will be able to name our XI for tomorrow," he said. Despite India missing opener Shikhar Dhawan as he sought a break to attend to his ailing wife, Smith said the hosts had a strong top six or seven. "Yeah, I think Shikhar has obviously been playing well for India for the last year or so at the top of the order. Obviously it is tough for them. Hope everything is okay with him. "He has gone back home to Australia. I think they still have got a very strong batting line-up whether KL Rahul opens or Ajinkya Rahane does. I am not sure but we are ready for both. They have a strong top-six or seven," Smith said. He also said Travis Head had been earmarked to bat at number four, insisting that the absence of Finch didn't change things. "Nothing really changes. I'll tell you Travis will probably bat at four. I won't give too much away other than that. There's a good chance he'll be filling the No. 4 spot," the Aussie skipper said. About Virat Kohli running away in the ODI centuries race and his take on the Indians' scoring big tons, Smith said, "I'm not sure. I think India play a lot more ODI cricket than we do. I'm not sure how many games Virat has played. He is a very good player.
