india arrived in australia to play a tour test match series and a tri-series odi competition with england. the odi series began after the four test series, preceding the 2015 cricket world cup. the test series was played first and the first test match was scheduled on 4 december in brisbane, but was later postponed because of the death of phillip hughes. the first test was later rescheduled to the adelaide oval on 9 december and brisbane would be hosting the second test on 17 december. in the first test match in adelaide, the australian players wore hughes' test cap number 408 on their playing shirts for the match as well as black armbands in honour of their former teammate. in the first test match in adelaide, smith scored 162 runs in 298 balls in the first innings and made 53 runs in the second innings, defeating india by 48 runs into day five. this also marked steve smith's first test century against india and at the adelaide oval.
