Steve Smith has been playing the role of a backbone for Australia since his arrival into the field of cricket. Ever since he made his debut in 2010, he has been the leading run-scorer for Australia in all 3 formats of the game. However, due to his hard luck, he is at present out of the national side pertaining to his ban for breaching the code of conduct.

Despite being out, he holds the 2nd position in ICC Test rankings for batsmen. Smith is also known for playing one of the most innovative shots in cricket known, a quirky shot between the legs.

During a one-day international between Australia and South Africa, Smith smashed Morkel’s delivery with an unbelievable shot for a boundary. Steve placed the ball on the leg side through his legs. With this shot, he entered the elite list of players who have played some unexceptional shots in cricket.
