Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah is on fire in the morning session of day two as he hits two big knocks against Australia in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 Day-Night Test at the Adelaide Oval. After dismissing Nathan McSweeney for 39 runs, Bumrah got rid of Steve Smith.
In the 41st over of Australia’s innings, Jasprit Bumrah struck a crucial blow on the first ball, sending Steve Smith back to the pavilion in a rather unexpected fashion for just two runs at the Adelaide Oval. A seemingly innocuous delivery down the leg side that successfully brought back Steve Smith.
Steve Smith falls to the art of Jasprit Bumrah as Rishabh Pant’s stunning catch turns the tide in the Adelaide Test.
Smith moved across the crease and tried to spin the length ball well past the keeper. However, the Australian batting icon managed only a faint edge and the ever cautious Rishabh Pant dived sharply to his left to complete a clean catch with both hands.

Frustrated by his knock, Smith shook his head in disbelief as he strode back after scoring just 2 off 11 balls. Bumrah, on the other hand, beamed with a delighted smile as he knew he had bagged the award for Australia’s star batsman in an unusual manner in Adelaide.
