New Delhi: Ace spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was not at his usual best, but still managed to get the prize wicket of Australian captain Steve Smith on Day 1 of the fourth and final Test in Dharamsala.
After opting to bat on a 'blameless' Dharamsala pitch, Smith anchored the Aussie innings with a brilliant hundred. It was his third hundred of the series, and sure a classic knock.
But the 27-year-old failed to convert it to a big hundred as he ended up offering a tough chance to India's stand-in skipper Ajinkya Rahane at slip. And Rahane was never going to drop it.
It happened off the penultimate delivery of the 60th over. Watch the wicket HERE

India rode on the brilliance of debutant Kuldeep Yadav to restrict the Aussies to 300 today.
