Steve Smith and Novak Djokovic, two of the greatest players in their respective sports (cricket and lawn tennis), played an exhibition match at Melbourne Park on Thursday (January 11). A glimpse of the moments of wholesomeness left everyone speechless, and Australia Open's social media handle did not waste any time in sharing it with the world.

Djokovic is currently participating in the Australian Open, and there, in between, he had an opportunity to have a friendly match against Smith, arguably the greatest Test batsman Australia ever had after Don Bradman. Djokovic gave a serve to Smith, and the way the talismanic Australian batsman returned left the Serbian in complete shock.

Djokovic was so shocked that his racket fell out of his hand, as he was unaware of Smith's lawn tennis skill set.
