Jalaj Saxena surprised Steve Smith when the ball slipped out of his hand at the last moment while he was about to deliver the ball during the DC and PBKS match in IPL 2021. The Delhi Capitals spinner wasn’t able to grip the ball properly because of the dew at the Wankhede Stadium.
Saxena ended up delivering the ball over the stumps at the non-striker’s end while Smith was searching the ball. It certainly wasn’t cricket of the highest order as Saxena looked embarrassed while the ball slipped out of his hand.

It was a comical moment in the match as for a brief moment nobody had a clue where the ball had gone. The batsman initially thought that Saxena has flighted the ball and even used his feet to play it down the ground. He soon realised that Jalaj Saxena had made a mess of it but was still trying to hit the ball which amused his batting partner Dhawan.
