#3 Steve Smith
One of the best batsmen of the world for some time now, there is hardly a day when the Australian skipper Steve Smith does not make news. Having started out as a bowler who could bat a bit lower down the order, Smith’s transition after that been phenomenal.
For a batsman who looks jerky and unorthodox at the crease, he is the very picture of elegance when he plays his shots. A magnificent technique and a very still head help him go through most of his shots with absolute perfection.
Smith is exceptionally strong on the leg-side and likes to walk across his stumps to flick the ball. Against the spinners, sweeping becomes a potent weapon for him as he uses his big backlift and perfect footwork to sweep the ball on the leg-side.
With an average of over 40 in ODIs and over 60 in Tests, Smith is one of the most consistent batsmen in the world today.
