Ravindra Jadeja is notoriously known for breaking set partnerships and he did that.

Smith stays rooted to his spot and reacts in shock as the ball knocks the stumps.

Steve Smith Dismissal

It was the start of the 28th over when Jadeja decided that enough was enough. After Warner’s dismissal, Labuscagne and Smith were en route to form a strong partnership. Smith was 4 runs shy of his fifty.

First ball of the new over and Jadeja bowls a gem of a delivery. An unplayable ball as the ball moves towards the stumps. Pitched on a good length, the ball continues to drift towards the batter. Smith moves ahead to defend but the ball goes through and hits the off stump.

Smith stands smiling at the sheer brilliance of the ball. Jadeja then picked two quick wickets to dismiss Marnus Labuschagne and Alex Carey as India go on top of Australia.
