The 35-year-old Australian batsman has had a start-stop international career so far and he could never make his presence felt in international arena. Even after enjoying a good run of form in most seasons of IPL, he struggled to live up-to the expectations in Green and Gold.
But the after-effects of the ball tampering saga has made him a permanent member of the team and he is finally showing good form with the bat for Australia. He can be an exciting option as a No.3.

AB de Villiers has been the poster boy of South Africa cricket team for this generation but, it is Faf who is always there for the team as a constant force. He is a perfect No.4 that any team can ask for, he can come in and smash the opposition bowlers if the top-order batsmen give a good start and he is a master in anchoring the innings. He will captain this team as he is still the captain of his international team - South Africa.
