Steve Smith Becomes Victim To 'Most Bizarre Dismissal Of 2024', His Reaction Says It All

Steve Smith's fifth Boxing Day Test century lifted Australia to 474 in the first innings of their 4th Test against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday. Smith (140) crunched his second century in as many Tests as Australia built a daunting total, with the hosts having resumed on 311-6 after a dominant opening day where all their top four blasted 50 or more to lay a solid platform. However, Smith got out in a rather bizarre manner, falling 10 runs short of a landmark 150.

Ever since India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin announced his sudden retirement from international cricket, tributes have been pouring in from all corners for the veteran cricketer.

Matthew Hayden Backs Kohli To Shine In Boxing Day Test, Gives 'Sachin Tendulkar' Advice

Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden has called for Virat Kohli to resist the urge to hit the ball outside the off stump and called upon the example of one of the finest innings played by Sachin Tendulkar during the 2003-04 Border Gavaskar Trophy. Barring Kohli's unbeaten century in the second innings of the first Test at Perth, the 36-year old has struggled with the bat and has constantly been caught with the ball outside the off-stump. Hayden believes the track at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the venue for the Boxing Day Test, will be suitable for batters and backs the Indian great to come back to form if he can resist the urge to slash at the ball outside the off-stump.
