Hard Times in the Second Innings

One of the funniest moments of the match happened in Australia’s second innings. Harshit Rana thought he had trapped Steve Smith in front of the stumps. He asked captain Jasprit Bumrah to go for a DRS (Decision Review System). Harshit said, “Kasam se bohot saamne laga hai” (I swear it hit him in front of the stumps). His innocent words made everyone smile. Bumrah agreed to take the review. Sadly, the ball had missed the stumps, and Smith was declared not out.
India in Control, Australia Fighting Back
