Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah is on fire in the Day 2 morning session as he handed two major blows to Australia in the ongoing Day-Night Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 at the Adelaide Oval. After removing Nathan McSweeney for 39 runs, Bumrah got rid of Steve Smith.
On the first ball of the 41st over of the Australian innings, Jasprit Bumrah dealt a crucial blow, sending Steve Smith back to the pavilion in a rather unexpected fashion for just two runs at the Adelaide Oval. The seemingly harmless delivery, which angled down the leg side, successfully undid Steve Smith.
Steve Smith falls to Jasprit Bumrah’s craft as Rishabh Pant’s stunning catch turns the tide in the Adelaide Test
Smith, shuffling across the crease, attempted to flick the length ball fine as he aimed to guide it past the wicketkeeper. However, the Australian batting icon only managed a faint edge, and Rishabh Pant, ever alert, dived sharply to his left to complete a clean catch with both hands.
Frustrated with his shot-making, Smith shook his head in disbelief as he made the long walk back after scoring just 2 off 11 balls. On the other hand, Bumrah flashed a satisfied smile, knowing he had claimed the prized wicket of Australia’s star batter in an unusual fashion in Adelaide.
