IPL 2008's best XI: Where are they now?

#3 Graeme Smith (Rajasthan Royals)

Graeme Smith proved to be a handy acquisition for Rajasthan

The South African captain was the third leading run scorer in the 2008 IPL. He scored 441 runs including three half-centuries.

Despite past disagreements, he played under captain Shane Warne for the Rajasthan Royals in their successful campaign. He stayed there until 2011 following which he moved to Pune Warriors India for one season.

By 2014, Smith had retired from all forms of international cricket after a long and prestigious career. He finished Test cricket with an average of 48.25, an impressive statistic considering he opened the batting.

Smith was appointed captain just eight Tests into his career, making him the youngest South African captain at just 22 years and 82 days old. Recently, he has worked as a cricket commentator and pundit for radio and television.
