3. Steven Smith
Following the fabulous World Test Championship (WTC) final in 2023, Steven Smith had the responsibility to continue his form in the Ashes. In the tournament, he showcased his efficiency with his bat again, making a vital contribution to his side.
After struggling to be among the runs in the first Test, Smith scored a superb ton in his team’s 43-run victory in the second game at Lord’s. The veteran also became the recipient of the Player of the Match award for his match-winning knock. In the final Test at the Oval, the Aussies tasted a defeat but Smith fought with his bat.
Playing the last game, he displayed composure with his knocks of 71 and 54. However, his contribution couldn’t save Australia from the loss. In the competition, Smith ended up the second-most successful batter in the Aussie camp, amassing 373 runs with a century and a couple of fifties in 10 innings of five Tests.
