Bumrah reminds fans of the 2023 World Cup Final by removing Smith for Golden Duck.
One of the top bowlers in the world of cricket, Jasprit Bumrah consistently produces in every format. On the first day of the first Test in Perth, he is doing the same thing by taking three fast wickets to help India get back into the match. It's turning out to be an exciting first day as India managed to generate just 150 runs in the first innings, while Bumrah also reduced Australia to 19-3.
The seventh over of Australia's innings saw Bumrah take out rookie Nathan McSweeney first, followed by successive deliveries that took out Usman Khawaja and Steven Smith. Although Smith is an important batsman for Australia, getting him out for a golden duck was a significant accomplishment. Additionally, the wicket's fall reminded spectators of the 2023 World Cup final.
Steve Smith Wins His Second Golden Duck in Tests
The delivery was of a decent length and ended abruptly. Steve Smith crossed the line and attempted to protect it, but the ball struck his pad after he missed it entirely. After a lengthy appeal, the umpire quickly gave the finger. Steve Smith, who was disappointed as he left the field, knew it looked dead plumb. It was just Steve Smith's second golden duck in Test cricket; his first came in 2014 against South Africa.
Jasprit Bumrah also removed Steve Smith in the similar manner in the World Cup 2023 final, and his wicket gave India hope following a poor first-inning score. India has a poor first-inning total in this match as well, and they will be hoping that Steve Smith's dismissal would open the door and hold Australia in check.
