Don&#8217;t know how this easy catch of KL Rahul was missed by Steve Smith. However, the good thing was that he took a surprising catch to dismiss KL Rahul, but it should also not be forgotten that dropping the catch of Steve Smith could prove costly for Australia. The reason behind this is that when KL Rahul missed the catch, he was batting on only 33 runs and when he was out, his score was 84 runs.<\/p>\n<p>If KL Rahul had been out on the first ball of the day, perhaps Australia would have strengthened its hold on the match. KL Rahul was later out at slip while trying to cut Nathan Lyon&#8217;s ball. Steve Smith, anticipating well, went to his right and took the catch with one hand. The ball hit the palm of his right hand, but the ball stuck to his hand. He must have been relieved to see this, but from dropping the catch to taking the catch, KL Rahul scored 51 more runs, which helped India a little in avoiding the follow-on. You can watch the video.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Steve Smith&#8217;s catch video<\/strong><br \/>Talking about Steve Smith, this test match has been very good for him with the bat. He succeeded in scoring a century after a long time. Whereas, if we talk about KL Rahul, he has scored his second half-century on this tour. He is the only batsman from India who has succeeded in scoring two half-centuries on this tour. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli have scored one century each. Ravindra Jada has completed his half-century at Gabba.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New DelhiThe Australian team could have got a wicket on the first ball of the fourth day of the Brisbane Test match, but their experienced slip fielder Steve Smith dropped the catch.
