India vs Australia live: Washington Sundar scripts memorable debut by dismissing Steve Smith

The young all-rounder impressed the cricketing community on his debut with his tight bowling. Sundar didn't concede a single run of his first three overs. However, once Sundar returned to bowl after lunch, he bagged the prized scalp of Australian batting mainstay Steve Smith to script a memorable debut. 

Sundar tossed up the ball which was spinning into Smith's pads. The Australian flicked the ball towards short midwicket region without realising that there is a fielder placed exactly for that shot. Smith hit the ball straight into the hands of Rohit Sharma who grabbed a sharp catch to draw the curtain over Smith's innings. The Australian No. 4 was dismissed after a well made 36(77).
