Australian cricket captain Steve Smith and his partner Dani Willis leave the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport after arriving ahead of the one-day international (ODI) match v India in Kolkata yesterday.

Australia captain Steve Smith admitted that his side did not execute their plans properly during the first ODI against India here and vowed to come back stronger in the remaining matches of the series.

"Would have been nice to have won the game. But it's the first in a five-match series and four (games are) left in the series. Would need to win three to win the series. (We) got to come back hard in a couple of days' time. It did not work out as we would have liked. Hopefully, we would turn things around in Kolkata," Smith said at the post-match press conference.
