Ashes 2021: Steve Smith gets stuck in lift- Australian vice-captain Steve Smith has been involved in some weird instances on the cricket field. However, in a recent video the Australian got himself caught in an unavoidable situation off the field. But Smith seemed to handle the situation pretty well having faced plenty of ups and downs in his career.
Smith got trapped in an elevator between floors for 55 minutes before he was rescued on Thursday.

Smith was dismissed in the nervous 90s when he captained the side in the second Ashes Test win in Adelaide but kept his nerve — and his humour — in the lift as he contacted his teammates for help before recording his ordeal on Instagram.
“Not quite the night I had planned, I’m currently stuck in a lift,” he said on a video showing his followers how he was trapped inside an elevator 20 storeys up.
Presenting, via his Instagram stories and featuring Marnus Labuschagne, Insta filters and M&Ms…

“The doors won’t open, it’s out of service … I’ve tried to get the door open, I’ve got this side open. (Australia team mate) Marnus (Labuschagne) is on the other side trying to open the door.”
Ever the reliable partner, Labuschagne made sure Smith was well fed, squeezing a packet of M&M’s through the gap in the doors as he tried to pry them open with a rod.
When a technician finally arrived and pried open the doors, Smith climbed out to applause from the “rescue team”.
“That’s 55 minutes I’ll probably never get back,” he said with a laugh after he was safely back in his room.
