Watch: Commentators Stunned As Superman Steve Smith Pulls Off Unbelievable Piece Of Fielding

Is there anything Steve Smith cannot do on the field? One of the best batsmen in the world right now, the former Australia skipper is also one of the best fielders in the world and he proved it once again on Sunday by pulling off an outrageous effort in the second T20I against South Africa.

The shot from Quinton de Kock was looking set to cross the boundary ropes without any drama and Steve Smith was nowhere in the picture. The shot from the South Africa captain was neither a catch nor even a run-out and thus not many were expecting any drama.

However, Steve Smith had some other plans as he pulled off arguably this year’s best piece of fielding. On the first ball of the sixth over, de Kock blasted the ball from Adam Zampa over Steve Smith. It was a certain six before Steve Smith made a stunning leap into the air, behind the rope and threw the ball back inside with one hand.

“That’s superman … that is absolutely unbelievable Steve Smith,” said one of the surprised commentators before adding: “So many would just give that up because they’ve literally got no chance. If anything, you’ve got one per cent chance. That is out of this world.”

Later, Smith’s IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals took to Twitter to post the video and struggled to describe the effort words.

Here is a clip of that effort from Steve Smith:

Meanwhile, South Africa beat Australia by 12 runs in a thrilling encounter to draw level in three-match series. South Africa, who had lost the first game by 107 runs, posted 158 for 4 in their allotted 20 overs with de Kock scoring a fine fifty. In reply, Australia were well on course to cross the finishing line after racing away to 124 for 2 before a collapse saw them finish on 146 for 6.
