From 2018 to 2019, there was a time when Steve Smith didn’t get to play Test after the infamous ball-tampering scandal in Cape Town. Not only did he lose his no.1 rank, but also his credentials following his sacking as the national captain.

However, in the 2019 Ashes, he got back his top position and showed his class despite missing a match due to a concussion after copping a blow off Jofra Archer. After making his Test debut back in 2010, Smith’s career has only seen an upward trend. In 77 Tests, he averages a stunning 61.80 with 27 tons and 31 fifties to his name.

He doesn’t go by the copybook and has his own special quirks while batting. But despite shuffling around, he possesses a rock-solid defence. The 31-year-old has played cricket all over the world and his numbers are worth envying.
