Marcus Stoinis struck by a deadly bouncer

This happened during the fourth over of the Melbourne Stars' run chase. On the fourth delivery, pacer Riley Meredith bowled a bouncer and Stoinis had no clue whatsoever about the awkward bounce which it would end up generating. It ended up striking him on the helmet and floored him. 

However, the Aussie all-rounder was seen giving a thumbs up to indicate that he was alright. Meanwhile, Meredith went towards the batsman, showed concern and apologized to him. Whereas, Stoinis on the other hand, took off his helmet and checked to ensure that no damage was done and was also seen smiling while having a chat with one of the Hurricanes players.

''Oh, that's hit him hard. That has hit him hard'', said the commentators on air.

The interesting part highlighted by the commentators was that of Marcus Stoinis being on his feet even after being floored by a delivery which was bowled at around 146-150 kmphs. The video of this scary incident was posted by the Big Bash League on their official Twitter handle. 

Here's what the fans had to say after watching this video.
