Steve Smith

Steve Smith is one of the finest batters in the modern-day and age across the formats. Smith also captain Australia in Test cricket. He was sacked from captaincy after the sandpaper gate that took place in 2017 in South Africa.

Smith has also captained the Rising Pune Supergiants and Rajasthan Royals in the IPL. In 2021, he was released by the Royals after he failed to lead them from the front. Smith could not fire with the bat as well. He was roped in by the Delhi Capitals, where he was just average. Though Smith does not hold any flamboyant IPL record, his experience may allure the franchises to serve him the captaincy hat.
