CHENNAI (Reuters) - Australia skipper Steve Smith exuded confidence his team can dominate India's left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav in the one-day series beginning on Sunday after two days of facing a local bowler of similar action in the nets.

Yadav's 4-68 on test debut against Australia helped secure India's 2-1 series victory earlier this year but the tourists left no stone unturned in their preparation, roping in local left-arm wrist spinner KK Jiyas for some valuable practice.
