#8 Steven Smith

The former captain of Australian cricket team, Steven Smith was in the Kochi Tuskers Kerala squad for IPL 2011. However, the Aussie all-rounder got injured ahead of the IPL season which led to him pulling out of the tournament.
Smith was not that big a player in 2011 as the fans looked at him as a leg-spinner who could smash some lusty blows down the order. Smith has evolved as a player ever since and is currently one of the top batsmen of the world.
The star Australian player is a part of the Rajasthan Royals squad now as he would make his return to IPL after serving a ban because of the infamous ball-tampering scandal. It is not clear yet whether Steve will make it to the IPL or not as he is currently dealing with an injury.
