As the world celebrated and wished their loved ones a happy Valentine's Day, Australian cricketer Steve Smith also did the same but a small mistake got him in the spotlight. In the world of social media, no mistake goes unpunished. To put it straight, everyone gets trolled if they make any small mistake. Especially celebrities and big names like cricketers or any other athlete. Similarly on this Valentine's Day, Australia batter Steve Smith got trolled for tagging a different person with the name as his wife on a heartwarming post on February 14.
“Happy Valentine’s Day to my beautiful wife @dani_willis. Can’t wait to see you in a couple of days," Smith captioned his post. Social media went crazy as Smith tagged someone named 'D.Queen' instead of his wife for the Valentine Day post.

Fans were very quick to react to Smith's blunder and they trolled the cricketer. Smith in his defense was also quick to react and he immediately deleted the post as soon as he realised his mistake.
Coming to cricket, Australian men's cricket team on Tuesday, arrived in Delhi for the second Test of the four-match Test series against India in Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The second Test of the series will be held in Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium from February 17-21. Delhi is hosting its first Test since December 2017. India will look forward to their World Test Championship Final qualification chances while Australia looking to register a series win in the subcontinent. Merely two sessions of play were needed to achieve a result on the third day of the first Test as India took a 1-0 lead in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Nagpur.
After stretching their lead to over 200 runs, India bowled out Australia for 91 in about a session to win the Test by an innings and 132 runs. Ravindra Jadeja was declared the Player of the Match for bowling figures of 7-81 and 70 runs with the willow. The win shortens the gap between the two sides in the World Test Championship Standings with India`s point percentage rising to 61.67% while Australia`s dropped to 70.83%.
Australia currently lead the ICC World Test Championship standings and need to avoid a 4-0 whitewash to India to ensure they reach June`s final at The Oval.
