VIDEO: Novak Djokovic shows his batting skills on tennis court

Tennis maestro Novak Djokovic showcased his sporting versatility by engaging in a friendly cricket match with Australian cricket stars on the tennis court.

The Serbian star, a 24-time Grand Slam champion, displayed his jovial side as he took to the cricket pitch with enthusiasm, sharing laughs and playful banter with the cricket luminaries on the eve of the 'Happy Slam.'

Djokovic, who was in high spirits, faced a challenging delivery from Jackson Warne but struggled to connect with the ball initially. Undeterred, the tennis icon picked up a racket, turning the tables by sending the ball soaring into the stands.

The cricket festivities continued with Djokovic crossing paths with Australian cricket star Steve Smith during an exhibition event at Melbourne Park.

The 36-year-old tennis icon is eyeing a historic "Golden Slam" in the upcoming year, aiming to clinch victory in all major tennis tournaments and secure a gold medal in the Olympics.
