The India vs Australia second Test is currently under progress with the visitors completely in control of the game. The Indian team was bowled out for 326 which gave them a considerable 131-run lead. Australia had a formidable task ahead of them to chase India's lead and then bat their skins out to post a competitive target for the hosts.

Tim Paine's side got off to a dismal start as they lost opener, Joe Burns, for 4 in the fourth over. Matthew Wade and Marnus Labuschagne tried to steady the ship but the latter was dismissed by R. Ashwin for 28. All eyes were on Steve Smith who has failed to fire in the ongoing Ind vs Aus Test series. A herculean effort from both Smith and Wade was expected to rescue the Aussies from the precarious situation. However, Jasprit Bumrah had other plans.
Bumrah exploited Smith's weakness as he cleaned him up for just 8. The right-arm speedster brilliantly executed his plans and caught Smith in his leg-side trap. Bumrah bowled a quick delivery on Smith's leg stump and the Australian tried to glance it to the leg-side only to miss the ball which kissed the timber and dislodged the bails. Interestingly, both Bumrah and Smith were unaware that the bails had been dislodged. While Bumrah kept appealing for an lbw, Smith tried to steal a single only to realise later that he had indeed been dismissed.
