'Not the evening I had planned' - Steve Smith gets stuck inside a lift for over an hour, posts about it on Instagram

Steve Smith was stuck in a lift for over an hour on 30th December 2021. Smith took to Instagram to post an update of what happened inside the lift. The Aussie Test vice-captain stated that he was stuck inside the lift, and the doors were not opening.

Smith added that the lift was probably out of service. The 32-year-old said that he tried to open the lift from inside, while Marnus Labuschagne tried to do so from outside, but their effort went in vain. Smith further added that the evening did not go as per his plan.

“I’m on my floor, I’m staying on this level but the doors won’t open. Out of service up there apparently. I’ve tried to get the door open; I’ve got this side open, Marnus (Labuschagne) is on the other side trying to open that to not much avail. Not quite the evening I had planned, let’s be honest,” said Smith in a story that he posted on Instagram.

I am just taking a seat: Steve Smith

Steve Smith further added that he was just taking a seat, as there was nothing else for him to do inside the lift. The Australian cricket legend also asked his fans as to what could be done by a person who is stuck inside the lift.

“Well, I’m just taking a seat. What else do you do when you’re stuck in a lift? I could be here for a while. Anyone got any suggestions for what I can do?,” added Smith.

Meanwhile, Marnus Labuschagne tried to break open the lift to get Smith out. And in the end, the lift operators arrived and freed the Aussie cricket legend out of the mess that he found himself in. Steve Smith will next be seen in action on the field on 5th January 2022, when Australia takes on England in the 4th Ashes Test match.
