Steve Smith took an unbelievable catch with one hand, and Cheteshwar Pujara was also stunned


New Delhi, Sports Desk. If a batsman is frozen at the crease, then the fielding team has to make a special effort to get him out. A similar scene was seen on the second day of the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy being played between India and Australia in Indore on Thursday.

Cheteshwar Pujara, the test specialist of the Indian team, was fighting fort against the kangaroo bowlers by scoring a half-century. He was the only batsman from India to score a half-century. Pujara's try could have given India a huge lead, but the opposition captain Steve Smith made sure that did not happen.

Amazing catch by Smith

Nathan Lyon was doing the 57th over of India's second innings. On the third ball of the over, he got Cheteshwar Pujara caught at leg slip by captain Steve Smith. Lyon bowled the ball on the middle stump line, on which Pujara hit the bat. He felt that the ball would go for the boundary, but Smith, who was in the leg slip, took an unbelievable catch by extending his hand forward to the right. Smith fell on his back after taking the catch.

The praise of this catch of Steve Smith is less. Cheteshwar Pujara was also stunned to see Smith's catch. Pujara scored 59 runs in 142 balls with the help of 5 fours and 1 six. When Pujara was out, the score of the Indian team was 155 for 8 wickets. The next two wickets fell in the next 8 runs and the Indian innings were reduced to 163 runs. Australia has got an easy target of 76 runs to win.
