Times of India - Sports · sports
Steve Smith experienced a concerning moment on Day 4 of the first Test against South Africa in Durban when he was struck on the helmet by a short-pitched delivery. He underwent an on-field concussion assessment and did not return to the field for South Africa's second innings. Smith continued batting after the incident, scoring 27 runs before being dismissed. Cricket Australia stated that he would be further assessed, with an update expected soon. This incident brings back memories of a previous concussion Smith suffered in 2019.
