Pakistan and Australia are all set to lock horns in historic Test match at Pindi Cricket Stadium, slated to kick off on March 4. While the fans are expectedly excited about the 5-day contest, both teams have also began their preparations for the game in full swing. However, not everything is going according to the plan for either of them in nets.
Azhar Ali got a nasty hit on the helmet off the bowling of Shaheen Shah Afridi, which also got captain Babar Azam slightly worried. And now, another footage has gone viral on social media which shows Pat Cummins attempting a similar fierce bouncer against Steve Smith. But the execution and outcome in this case was absolutely different!
Steve Smith replies to Cummins in style
The Aussie pacer lost the control of ball while releasing the delivery and the ball bounced twice before going to Smith. The right-handed batsman made sure that he will give an epic reply to Pat Cummins for his intentions of bowling a bouncer as he smashed the ball over his skipper for a massive hit.
Fortunately, no damage was done! Cummins shared the video of the incident on his Instagram story where he tagged Smith and wrote, "too good" showering praise for his teammate for his unexpected response to his shocking delivery.
The video of the same has now gone viral on social media, and various fans and cricket lovers are re-sharing it on Twitter.
