Australian captain Steven Smith has expressed disappointment over his controversial dismissal in his side's defeat in a do-or-die game against India at Mohali on Sunday. Smith was adjudged caught behind by umpire Marais Erasmus on two at Mohali, off Yuvraj Singh's first delivery of the tournament. The Aussie skipper looked clearly furious as he left the ground shaking his head. "It didn't feel like I hit that but that's the game of cricket. I got given out. It was the umpire's call and that was it. It was a bit disappointing," Smith said. Smith, who will be playing in the same Indian Premier League team (Rising Pune Supergiants) as Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni refrained from reading much into the loud appeal by Dhoni from behind the stumps.
