Steve Smith is known to be one of the technically sound batters to play for Australia. He was appointed as the full time captain of the Australian cricket team across formats after Micheal Clarke’s retirement in 2015. However, his captaincy couldn’t last long after the 2018 sandpaper controversy. Smith has been a part of the Australian team that won two ODI World Cups (2015 and 2023), one T20 World Cup title (2021) and one World Test Championship title in 2023. He is also among the richest cricketers from Australia with a net worth of around $30 million (₹2.48 billion).
