IPL 2017: Top 5 overseas players

#4 Steven Smith

Smith nearly led his side to glory

It was a bit of a surprise when Steven ‘Superman’ Smith, Australian captain of all formats was named the skipper of the RPS squad, despite the presence of ‘Captain Cool’ MS Dhoni. Notwithstanding rumours of clashes, both individuals collaborated in style to bring out the best in the team.

Smith led his team to the final of the IPL 2017, only to lose to Mumbai Indians narrowly. Nevertheless, the Aussie all-rounder treated us to some amazing acrobatic fielding, exciting catches and a mammoth of 472 runs. He is also famous for his incredibly accurate throws at the stumps.

He also had an impressive average of 39.33. His unbeaten 84 off 54 balls – blasting three sixes and seven fours – helped RPS beat MI, a side they beat thrice, is a knock that stands out.
