7 instances when cricketers showcased brilliant presence of mind

#4 Steve Smith

Steve Smith raced off from the regular slip to leg slip to grab the catch of Fawad Alam.

Steve Smith made his international debut in the year 2010. Since then, he has never looked back. Before the ball tampering case, he was one of the cornerstones for his national side.

Steve has mastered his ability in all the departments of cricket. Even his fielding skills have helped the Australian side come out on top in several must-win games. One of the best examples of it is his brilliant catch to dismiss Fawad Alam during the Australia versus Pakistan series in 2014. Steve picked a stunner and stunned the whole audience to dismiss Fawad Alam.

He was fielding at the regular slip position (on the off side) during left-arm-spinner Doherty‘s over. On seeing, Fawad taking the chance to chip the ball behind the stumps towards the leg side, Smith immediately shifted towards the leg slip to grab the catch. Steve took a sensational catch, showing his brilliant presence of mind on the field.
