Smith landed hard on the SCG turf in an ambitious jumping effort.

Steve Smith of Australia reassured his supporters that he would be OK after suffering a concussion while attempting to rescue a six in the second T20I against Sri Lanka in Sydney.

Smith, who has a history of concussions, smacked his head hard on the SCG grass in an ambitious leaping try to stop a six near the boundary rope in Australia’s Super Over victory over Sri Lanka in the second T20I on Sunday.

Pat Cummins and Glen Maxwell went to his help, prompting the medical team to attend to Smith, who stood down holding his head.

Thank you to everyone who has contacted me. “My head feels better, but I’ll be OK,” Smith tweeted on Monday.

In the Australian team, CA has not named a substitute for Smith. Smith has enough time to heal before the Pakistan trip, which begins with a Test on March 4.

When Smith collapsed at the boundary line following his remarkable but unsuccessful fielding effort, Pat Cummins and Glenn Maxwell quickly motioned for medical care. However, Smith was soon up on his feet and inquired whether the umpires had called for a six or not.

After Australia held on for victory in a thrilling Super Over finale, he was spotted wandering about the dressing room and conversing with teammates.

Smith has been concussed before, but this is not the first time. It was his third concussion in the last two and a half years.

After being felled by a Jofra Archer delivery, he was memorably substituted out of an Ashes Test against England at Lord’s in 2019.

Smith was also forced to miss a white ball series in England in 2020 after getting hit while batting in the Old Trafford practise nets.

Last summer, he confessed that he nearly missed an ODI against India in which he scored a match-winning century due to dizziness and vomiting caused by the production of microscopic crystals known as ‘ear rocks.’
