News Daily Digital Desk: Cheteshwar Pujara was playing very well. He was refuting all the strategies of Australia with the bat alone. As long as Pujara was at the crease, India too had hope. But a brilliant catch by Steve Smith ended Pujara’s innings. India’s dream of a big run ended as soon as Pujara went back.
Australia are beginning to smell victory. Although Pujara hopes to win, they also have hope. Australian spinner Nathan Lyon, however, said about Smith’s catch, “This is the real moment of the match. I will not belittle anyone by comparison. But I personally think that no one can catch such a catch. Hats off to Smith. He took a great catch. However, I am not at all surprised by Smith’s catch.”

Nathan Lyon’s third ball in the 57th over spins a lot. Pujara went to drive the ball. The bat did not go well. Smith stood at leg slip. He jumped to take the low catch and palmed the ball away.
Take the catch, win the match. Smith’s scintillating catch reminds us of that old adage once again. At the end of the day the score board showed Nathan Lyon taking eight wickets. Talking about Smith, Lyon said, “I have played with Smithy a lot in my career. We are very good friends on and off the field. We also discuss a lot about cricket. Smith is also one of the best batsmen in the world. The way his brain works, I enjoy discussing cricket with him.”
Could this be a match-turning catch by @stevesmith49 to dismiss @cheteshwar1 for a determined 59 #INDvAUS #classic pic.twitter.com/RFHO4lEdWV
