    Champions Trophy: Gambhir's Animated Celebration After Smith's Dismissal Goes Viral

    By IANS News March 04, 2025 • 19:58 PM View: 953
    ICC Champions Trophy: India head coach Gautam Gambhir was seen pumped up following Australia skipper Steve Smith's dismissal in the ICC Champions Trophy semifinal clash at Dubai International Stadium on Tuesday. Smith, who top-scored for the reigning ODI World Champion with a knock of 73, was cleaned up by Mohammed Shami in the 37th over of the match. He was involved in three 50-or-more runs partnerships with Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, and Alex Carey in the middle overs.

    Soon after Smith lost his wicket and started his walk back to the pavilion, Gambhir was seen clapping and churning out some 'expletives' to celebrate the dismissal. The video of Gambhir's reaction went viral on social media with fans backing the head coach's aggressive off-field nature. Smith stitched a 56-run partnership with Labuschagne to take the total to the three-figure mark. Ravindra Jadeja broke the partnership with the dismissal of Labuschagne (29), who was trapped in front of the wickets for lbw in the 23rd over.

    Smith then completed his half-century off 68 balls, his 35th in the ODIs. Just after scoring fifty, Smith charged Jadeja over long-off to smash the first six of his innings. In the same over, Jadeja picked up Josh Inglis (11) to break the partnership and leave Australia at 144/4 after 27 overs.
