IND vs AUS Review: Steve Smith’s 3 moves, which forced Rohit Sena to kneel down

In such a situation, it becomes necessary to know what was the last reason due to which Rohit’s army was forced to kneel in front of Steve Smith’s ploy in the third Test match.

Smith made Rohit’s trick a weapon

The expectation with which captain Rohit Sharma chose to bat first after winning the toss in the Indore Test was completely dashed by Steve Smith. It was being told before the match that the pitch would be very helpful for the spin bowlers after the third day. In such a situation, Rohit wanted Australia to come to bat in the fourth innings. However, the mood of the pitch changed from the very first hour of the first day. The unusual bounce and turn of the pitch caused the batsman to go berserk.

Steve Smith took advantage of this. After getting the initial few overs with the fast bowler, Smith left both and kept only the spin attack. As a result of this, Team India’s innings got reduced till the time of lunch on the first day of the game.

There was some mistake of Indian top order batsmen in this and Smith realized this thing. Actually Rohit was seen in the mood of attacking batting from the beginning. In such a situation, the spinners forced him to make mistakes and cheaply showed the way to the pavilion. After this, the process of falling wickets did not take the name of stopping again. At the same time, Smith knew very well that India had better spinners than him. In such a situation, taking a lesson from the mistakes of the host team, he came on the field with the intention of taking the necessary lead in his first innings, in which he was also successful.

Removed loophole of rules

Steve Smith is in a lot of discussion about his captaincy in the Indore Test match. The way he used the laws of cricket on the field was very interesting. Especially Smith is being praised for how to take advantage of the third umpire’s decision without losing DRS.

In fact, it was seen in the Indore Test that Smith did not go for DRS several times after appealing against the Indian batsmen. During this, wicketkeeper Alex Carey showed great finesse. In fact, during the appeal, Carey would drop the bails of the wicket and look at the umpire for stumping. For this reason, without DRS, the decision would have gone to the third umpire. In such a situation, not only stumping but ultra edge was also checked along with LBW. In such a situation, without losing DRS, Australia used to get their appeal checked by the third umpire every time.

Correct use of spin bowlers

Steve Smith is leading the team for the first time on this tour of India. He replaced Pat Cummins. Cummins does not have as much captaincy experience as Smith. Apart from this, Smith has good knowledge about Indian pitches and conditions here. This is the reason why after losing the toss, when he landed on the field for bowling, he constantly reposed faith in his spinners. Where Matt Kuhnman opened his claws in the first innings, Nathan Lyon wreaked havoc in the second innings.

Nathan Lyon took three wickets in the first innings while Ko took eight wickets in the second innings. In this way Lion hunted 11 Indian batsmen in a single match. Despite having the best fast bowler in Mitchell Starc, it shows Smith’s understanding of the Indian conditions and how he used spinners to his advantage when Lyon was the only experienced spinner at his disposal. Banky Kuhnman and Todd Murphy are visiting India for the first time.
