On the first day of the third Test played between India and Australia at Ranchi, amidst a tense battle between the two teams, a hilarious incident took place.

A delivery of Ravindra Jadeja took a sharp turn and got stuck between the legs of Smith. Thinking that the ball caught an edge off the Australian skipper's bat, wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha jumped on the batsman and tried to get hold of the ball. Soon, both the players fell to the ground and Saha got hold of the ball and appealed for a catch out.

The amusing scene on the ground left everyone in splits. Even umpire Ian Gould couldn't control himself and was seen laughing in the field along with other players. The appeal was later turned down as it turned out that the ball had not hit the bat.
