The veteran Australian batter, Steve Smith reassured his fans that he will soon be fit and fine after his latest concussion while attempting to save a six in the second T20I against Sri Lanka in Sydney. Smith, who has a history of concussions, hit his head hard on the SCG turf in an acrobatic effort involving a leap to stop a six near the boundary rope in the second T20I against Sri Lanka, which Australia won in the Super Over on Sunday.

The latest scare is not the first time Smith has been concussed. It was his third concussion in two-and-a-half years in 2019. He was famously subbed out of an Ashes Test at Lord’s against England in 2019 — the first-ever such case — after being felled by a Jofra Archer delivery.
