David Warner reveals Steve Smith's favorite grounds

Steve Smith has carved a reputation for being among the most explosive cricketers in the world. He is a seasoned campaigner and has played in venues across the globe. He also has the experience of playing in grounds where the roars of the crowds engulf the stadium and in venues where the scenic beauty of the surroundings add to the delight of watching the game.

The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamshala, India is one of the most scenic stadiums around the world located at the highest altitude. The Newlands in Cape Town, South Africa is an attractive place to play cricket with fans coming out in big numbers to back the home team. The pictorial venue is also the host for the third Test match between South Africa and Australia which begins on Thursday.
