IPL 2017 Final, RPS vs MI: 5 players who can win the big game on their own

#3 Steve Smith

Smith is one of the best batsmen in the world currently

Steve Smith has enjoyed a successful first season as a captain in the IPL, leading his side from the front. He has got the runs when it mattered, making key contributions in his side’s victories, and has handled captaincy expertly.

Ever since coming to the spotlight in 2010-11, Smith has, on many occasions, shown that he is a very capable match-winner. Moreover, he has been in spectacular form in the last one year or so and has laid claim to the mantle of the number one batsman in the world.

This season he has been in top form, having amassed 421 runs from just 14 matches. He will be looking to play a big inning tonight as well and help his team win the title. The added motivation of winning it in his first season as IPL captain will certainly push him to give his best.
