Steve Smith was dismissed in a bizarre manner after the ball struck his leg and rolled onto the stumps, on Day 2 of the IND vs AUS Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on December 27. Smith, who struck his 34th Test century and record 11th against India in the longest format of the game, seemed to be unstoppable but fortune was not on his side as he was dismissed in an unfortunate manner. Smith charged at the delivery bowled by Akash Deep which caught the edge of his bat and went on to strike his leg. The ball then ricocheted off his leg and went on to dislodge a bail.
