Watch: Another Brainfade? Steve Smith's Mistake That Almost Became Costly For Australia In Cricket World Cup 2023 Final

Steve Smith made a huge mistake by not taking a crucial review despite being not-out during the Cricket World Cup 2023 final between India and Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday. During the seventh over of the Australian innings, a slower delivery from Jasprit Bumrah crashed into Smith's pads and the entire India team went up in appeal. The umpire gave him out and although Smith was a bit interested, he was advised by Travis Head to not go for a review. However, replays showed that the impact of the ball was outside the off-stump and the decision would have been reversed.

"One Of The Best All-Format Players": Ricky Ponting Raves About Travis Head

Australia's 2003 World Cup-winning captain Ricky Ponting was impressed with Travis Head's sensational display and called him one of the best all-format players in the world. Australia's left-handed opener took the fight to Indian bowlers, kept the run flow above the asking rate and produced an exhilarating knock of 137. Ponting hailed Travis for his performance and told Sky Sports, "Travis is emerging as one of the three or four best all-format players in the world. His Test record is outstanding. He is unorthodox at times [in one-day cricket] and you wonder how he will get past the new ball, but he does and scores big runs."

In fact, several social media users called out the crowd's silence in the match, accusing them of disrespecting the Australian team as well as match officials.
