Jasprit Bumrah’s dismissal of Steve Smith for a golden duck stood out as a pivotal moment on Day 1 of the match. Former Australian captain Matthew Hayden shared his thoughts on where Smith went wrong during that crucial play.<\/p>\n
“Look at Steve Smith’s journey as a player. He’s always been a bit of a puzzle. You sort of expected him to eventually make a mistake like stepping too far forward and getting trapped out LBW. This is something that the old-timers of the game would point out about Smith. But it also reflects smart strategy from the other team,” Hayden explained on Star Sports.<\/p>\n
“To bowl at that pace, around 140, and target the stumps was impressive. That delivery was aimed right for the middle stump. We believed Pat Cummins would have a similar perfect delivery lined up for Virat Kohli, but Bumrah’s wicket of Smith was the highlight of the day. By taking out Steve Smith, they\u2019ve put Australia in a tough spot, giving Team India the advantage they were looking for.”
