The Australian captain got a reprieve while batting on 23 runs as the bails did not fall after he got an inside edge onto his pad. Earlier in the IND vs AUS match, Varun Chakaravarthy provided India with the big wicket of Travis Head.
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.
