Watch: Steve Smith's Shot Hits Moises Henriques At Non-Striker End In BBL

Steve Smith was at his very best on Saturday as his side Sydney Sixers crushed Sydney Thunder by 125 runs in a Big Bash League match in Sydney. Sixers' skipper Moises Henriques won the toss and opted to bat first and what followed was a sensational unbeaten century from Smith as his side posted a total of 187 for 2 after the match was reduced to 19-overs-a-side due to rain. One of the highlights of Smith's marathon knock was the player accidentally hitting captain Henriques at the non-striker's end with a powerful shot.

It was the third ball of the 18th over of the Sixers' innings when Daniel Sams bowled a slower ball to Smith, who was then batting on 112 off 59 balls. Smith tried to go hard on the short ball but lack of timing saw him hitting the ball directly to Henriques at the non-striker's end. The ball hit Henriques around the box.

Luckily, the Sixers skipper escaped the scene unhurt and gave a thumbs up soon after he received the body blow.

Talking about the match, Smith scored 125 not out off 66 balls while Henriques scored 45 not out off 36 to help the Sydney Sixers post a big total on the board. Smith's knock was laced with five fours and nine sixes.

In reply, Sydney Thunder were bundled out for 62 runs as Steve O'Keefe picked four wickets and Sean Abbott took three. Ben Dwarshuis had two wickets in his kitty and Todd Murphy took the remaining one wicket.

The Vicky Kaushal-starrer movie 'Chhaava', based on the life and times of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj - the second ruler of the Maratha Confederacy and son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has received positive response from audience across the country. Apart from Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, Rashmika Mandanna (as Yesubai Bhonsale), Akshaye Khanna (as Aurangzeb), Ashutosh Rana (as Hambirrao Mohite), Diana Penty (as Zinat-un-Nissa Begum) and Divya Dutta (as Soyarabai) play prominent roles in the movie.   Former India cricket team star Aakash Chopra also liked the movie. He, however, raised some questions after watching the film.  "Watched Chhaava today. Incredible tale of bravery, selflessness and the sense of duty.  Genuine question—why were we not taught about Chattrapati Sambhaji Maharaj at all in school? Not even a mention anywhere!!!  We did learn though how Akbar was a great and fair emperor, and even have a very prominent road called Auran...
