#8 Steve Smith

Australia v Pakistan - ODI Game 3 — The Aussie captain is currently dominating all the formats of the game

The Aussie captain is currently dominating all formats of cricket. His captaincy has taken Australia to a different level altogether. His consistency has proved to be very effective for the team in order to win crucial matches.

The No.1 Test batsman has played 63 Tests and scored 6187 runs at a sensational average of 62.49. In his impressive ODI career, he has played 108 matches and scored 3431 runs at an exceptional average of 41.84.

Smith captained the Rising Pune Supergiant last season and took them to the finals where they lost to Mumbai Indians. He has played 69 IPL matches and scored 1703 runs at an impressive average of 37.02. Smith would be looking forward to leading the Royals side and contribute by hitting big runs.
