#3 Steven Smith

The Australian run-scoring juggernaut has been regarded as many as the best player after Bradman. Despite all his success at the Test level, Smith remains an ordinary T20I batsman.
In 30 T20Is, Smith has just 431 runs to his name at an average of just 21. It is surprising to see Smith failing at the international level while his counterparts Kohli, Williamson and Root have performed much better at the same stage.
Smith has been a dominant force in the IPL for a number of years now. He has also won a BBL title as captain for the Sydney Sixers in 2011-12. Smith also has made brief appearances in the T20 Blast for Worcestershire and Global T20 Canada for Toronto Nationals.
