Watch: R Ashwin Rattles Steve Smith At Non-Strikers End, Virat Kohli's Reaction Can't Be Missed

The man who doesn't mind running out batters at the non-striker, Ravichandran Ashwin, looked to catch Australia batter Steve Smith off-guard on Day 3 of the second Test in New Delhi. Ashwin, bowling to Marnus Labuchagne, didn't release the ball during the 15th over of the second innings, leaving the non-striker Smith rattled. While no attempt to run out Smith was made, the entire incident drew an amusing reaction from the Australian batter. Even Virat Kohli, standing in the slip cordon, had a big laugh seeing what happened at the non-striker's end.

Ashwin completed his full stride of bowling but did not release the ball and the India spinner's action seemed to have rattled Smith a little. Here's the video of the incident:
