Greatest slip catch? Watch Steve Smith redeem himself with stunning KL Rahul effort

India Today  

Steve Smith needed less than a session to redeem himself after dropping a sitter on Day 4 of the third Test between Australia and India in Brisbane. Smith, one of the finest slip fielders, put down a simple catch in the very first delivery of the day's play to offer KL Rahul a reprieve on 33. Smith looked hurting throughout the session's play as the TV cameras panned to him whenever KL Rahul hit a boundary and kept the Indian scoreboard moving at the Gabba. However, Steve Smith pulled off what could go down as one of the greatest slip catches to end KL Rahul's innings. Yes, Rahul added 53 more runs to his tally, but Smith's catch to dismiss the Indian opener came toward the end of the first session, giving Australia a huge morale boost.
