5 most bizarre acts committed by all-time greats 

#3 Steve Smith’s ‘brainfade’ DRS

The series between Australia and India in 2016-17 had all the elements of an epic drama. After Australia pulled off a heist on a raging turner in Pune, the hosts were on the backfoot in Bengaluru for the second Test.

India were bundled out for 189 in the first innings, Australia piled up 276 in reply, and once again Virat Kohli’s men had their task cut out.

The Indian batting stood up but a lower-order collapse saw the target for Australia set at 188.

Ishant Sharma got the first breakthrough and then Steve Smith walked in. He was trapped in front by the Indian pacer, but in a moment of madness, he looked towards the dressing room in order to seek help for a DRS review, which was strongly objected by Virat Kohli.

The umpires stepped in and asked the Australian captain to leave.

“It was a bit of a brain fade on my behalf and I shouldn’t have done that,” Smith added after the match.
