The 34-year-old India National Cricket Team left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja bamboozled the 34-year-old Australia National Cricket Team batter Steve Smith with an unplayable delivery in the fifth match of the ICC Cricket World 2023 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai on Sunday, October 8.
Australia won the toss and elected to bat first in the match. The Aussies were off to a poor start in the match as the explosive opening batsman Mitchell Marsh got out for a 6-ball duck.
David Warner and Steve Smith steadied the ship for Australia after losing the early wicket. They added 69 runs in 85 balls to push India on the back foot before Kuldeep Yadav brought his side into the game by dismissing opener David Warner for 41.
Smith, however, kept fighting out in the middle against the Indian bowlers and he was looking good with the bat. He added 36 runs in 64 balls with Marnus Labuschagne before getting dismissed by Jadeja in the 28th over.
