During the 3rd ODI clash between India and Australia in Rajkot, the Aussies, after winning the toss, opted to bat first. Mitchell Marsh notched up an impressive 96 runs from 84 balls but was dismissed by Kuldeep Yadav in the 28th over.
However, during that same over, Steve Smith, who had scored 61 off 50 balls, seemed to struggle due to the scorching heat in Rajkot.
As the players took a break for drinks to rehydrate and rest, an unusual scene unfolded. Steve Smith received more than just refreshment.
Teammates rushed onto the field, bringing ice packs, cold compresses, and even a chair for Smith, almost turning it into an impromptu on-field spa treatment for the Australian cricket legend.

This gesture by the Aussie players garnered quite a reaction on Twitter, as they pampered Smith in response to the sweltering weather in Rajkot.
