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.

Ravichandran Ashwin retired from international cricket in December last year. He called time on his career after scalping 537 Test wickets, the second-most by any Indian bowler.

Ashwin is someone who possesses great knowledge of cricket and some terrific analysis. These all helped him become a legendary cricketer.

"Who wouldn't want it, Bhaiyya?". It was all that a shy Akash Deep could blurt out when Virat Kohli asked if he would like to own one of his bats that ultimately scripted a rare happy memory in an otherwise devastating tour of Australia for Team India. The newest pace bowling workhorse in the Indian dressing room bowled nearly 88 overs (87.5 overs) for his five wickets across the two Tests that he played in the five-match rubber. But it was his follow-on and eventually match-saving 31 at the Gabba that garnered attention. India, however, lost the series 1-3 to surrender the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

India suffered a late batting collapse after a good show from Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal on Day 2 of the fourth Test match against Australia in Melbourne on Friday.

However, with 30 minutes left for stumps, Jaiswal was dismissed run-out following a horrible mix-up. It was an unfortunate end to a solid knock and it opened the floodgates for the hosts.
