Team India endured a frustrating moment when Axar Patel bowled Steve Smith during the ICC Champions Trophy semi-final in Dubai. During the 14th over, Axar induced an inside edge off Smith’s bat. He bowled fantastic first five balls and it looked like the reward was there. However, the inside edge crawled its way to the base of the off-stump. However, to the agony of India, the bails didn’t come off.
Watch: Steve Smith has luck on his side
