West Indian batsman Dwayne Smith is considered to be a Twenty20 (T20) specialist, and he is considered so for a reason. The big-hitting cricketer from the Caribbean can hit the long ball hard and to a considerable distance. And the very skill set that he possesses has earned him lucrative contracts with different T20 league franchises across the globe. ALSO READ: What do you call that shot from Darren Sammy?
The flamboyant batsman is showing his skills in the ongoing season of Caribbean Premier League (CPL), where he is representing Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW). In a recent match against Darren Sammy-led St Lucia Zouks (SLZ), Smith scored a patient 51-ball 56 at top of the order and set the tone for a decent total.
During the course of his innings, he hit a delivery bowled by New Zealand all-rounder Grant Elliott so hard, that it went all the way towards the refrigerator placed near the player dugouts and smashed its glass. Check the video of that shot below:

The ball was a bit fuller outside the off stump and ‘Doctor’ Smith hit it towards long off where it hit the fridge that stores drinks for the players and broke its door’s glass. His team ended up scoring 159, thanks to his and Chris Lynn’s half centuries. But SLZ chased down the total comfortably, with Johnson Charles and Shane Watson hitting unbeaten half-centuries as well.
