Australian batsman Steve Smith is not compromising on his fitness even at the time of a pandemic. There is no game of cricket happening anywhere in the world right now in the light of the coronavirus outbreak. However, Smith is making sure to keep his body in shape physically so that he can play as soon as the situation turns normal. 

Taking to Instagram, Smith shared a photo of his half-marathon run with the caption, “I had a few people comment after last week that 21km is not a half marathon (I had no idea) so I completed my 21.10kms today and have now officially done a 1/2 marathon! It was nice to shave a few minutes off my time also. #constantimprovement.”

Smith was accompanied by his wife Dani Wills in his half-marathon run. Sharing an adorable selfie with his wife Dani, Smith wrote, “Making the most of a nice afternoon exercising with @dani_willis #run #halfmarathon,”
