In a bizarre turn of events, Steve Smith survived after the bails did not dislodge despite the ball hitting the stumps during the IND vs AUS ICC Champions Trophy 2025 semi-final in Dubai on March 4. This incident happened off the last ball of the 14th over bowled by Axar Patel when Steve Smith attempted a drive but instead got an inside edge with the ball going on to hit the off-stump right at its base. Despite the ball hitting the off-stump, none of the two balls dislodged and Steve Smith, who was batting on 31 runs, got a reprieve.
