Watch: The ball games; when Wriddhiman Saha caught Steve Smith off guard

Ranchi: India and Australia have had an intense two Test so far, in the four-match series. However, things took a lighter turn on the first day of the third Test in Ranchi, when Steve Smith was just three short of a century.

While the Aussies were attempting to mount a comeback after losing four early wickets, a rather hilarious incident took place.

Ravindra Jadeja’s delivery took a sharp turn and went on to lodge itself between the Australia Skipper’s legs.

India wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha, thinking that Smith had edged the ball, immediately pounced on the Aussie skipper, to get hold of the ball, as both the cricketers fell to the ground in the melee.

Wriddhiman did manage to get what he desired in the end, and even went up in appeal. However, umpire Ian Gould, who could not stop laughing, immediately waved off the appeals, as the ball is considered dead, once it gets stuck in the pads – or in this case, between Smith’s legs.
