Australia National Cricket Team batter Steve Smith was one of the major reasons behind the win of the team in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The premier batter, who was short on form, was back to his best as he slammed two glorious tons in the five-match Test series against India National Cricket Team.
Smith was removed by Prasidh Krishna in the second innings at Sydney Cricket Ground and this left him stranded at 9999 runs in the longest format of the game. The batter went down the track, but it was a short ball, and the ball rose sharply to take the edge and go to the gully region.
