AUS vs IND: On-Pitch Shuffle Lets Steve Smith Down Once Again In 2nd Test

Boxing legend boxer Muhammad Ali's famous shuffle mesmerized his opponents and audience alike, but Australian mainline batsman Steve Smith's shuffle on the pitch brought his downfall for a second time in the ongoing second Test against India here on Monday. Getting bowled around his legs on Monday meant that he now has a grand total of 10 runs in four innings, with one unbeaten innings, in the two Tests of the four-match series.

In the first innings, off-spinner R Ashwin plotted Smith's downfall by having Cheteshwar Pujara field at leg slip and in the second round fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah bowled the former Australia captain around his legs. Both times, Smith tried to play the ball on the leg side, but was unsuccessful.
