Banned Australia cricketer, Steven Smith, is currently gearing up for a return to the international cricket as he turned up in a local T20 match in Australia.
Meanwhile, Smith featured for the Sutherland against Manly-Warringah in the NSW T20 Premier Cricket tournament. He entertained his fans with some swashbuckling hitting all over the park.
Furthermore, during his innings, he also played a perfect helicopter shot reminiscing former Indian skipper, MS Dhoni. The former Australia skipper played an array of beautiful looking shots; however, the Dhoni style helicopter shot caught the attention.
Steven Smith whacked the ball in the same style as Dhoni to send it into the crowd as they applaud in joy. Furthermore, he has shown some excellent form in recent times after returning to cricket following the famous ball-tampering saga.

Meanwhile, Cricket Australia handed a 12-month ban to Steven Smith and David Warner while Cameron Bancroft got a 9-months ban. The trio was found guilty of tampering the ball during the Cape Town Test against South Africa earlier this year.
The duo has since plied their trade in club cricket for their respective local teams and also played in the Canada Global T20 League. There have been talks of reducing the duo’s ban to make them available for international cricket considering Australia’s woeful run. However, Cricket Australia.
The Virat Kohli-led Indian team will tour the Down Under for a tour across formats later this month. India will play three T20I, three ODIs and four Test against the Aussies. Moreover, many former greats believe this is India’s best chance to beat Australia in their backward.
