Apart from Leon's charismatic bowling, the finesse of captain Steve Smith was also in the headlines during the Test match.

Steve Smith's trick that exposed the rules, gave a mistake to the umpire
Australian players used to appeal strongly against the batsmen during the Indian innings. When the ball passed close to the bat, the Australian players used to appeal loudly. At the same time, when wicketkeeper Alex Carey scattered the batsman's stumps at the same time and looked at the leg umpire and appealed for stumping, after which the leg umpire had to go to the third umpire.
In such a situation, the third umpire not only used to check the stumping but also used to check whether the ball has hit the bat or not. Due to which, on the appeal of stumping, it was also checked whether the ball has hit the bat or not, that is, the Australian team used to save DRS by doing this. That is, without losing DRS, the Australian team used to get their appeal checked by the third umpire every time.
Smith took advantage of the loophole in the rules of cricket
Former Indian cricketer Parthiv Patel has also praised Smith's captaincy. Talking on Cricbuzz , Patel said, 'Smith has taken great advantage of the loophole in the rules of cricket. According to me, if the field umpire feels that the batter is not out on the appeal of stumping, then he should avoid going to the third umpire. And unless the captain of the fielding team takes DRS for the caught out, the third umpire should not check it.
