Champions Trophy: Dangerous Indian batters have the ability to shift gears, says Steve Smith

Dubai: With the Indian top order of Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Shreyas Iyer firing on all cylinders heading into their semifinal clash against Australia on Tuesday, Aussie skipper Steve Smith hailed his opponent batters’ ability to change gears. 

Besides Rohit Sharma, whose highest score of the tournament was a quickfire 41 in the opening game against Bangladesh, Kohli and Gill have both reached the century mark once each, whereas Iyer has shown the ability to be a reliable batter at number 4 having scored the most runs by an Indian in the ongoing edition.

“They're dangerous players. I think the entire Indian batting line-up have the ability to go up and down in gears. They're a very good side with good cricketers. I think for us it's playing the conditions that are in front of us tomorrow and playing it better than the opposition simple as that
