Steven Smith, often known as Steve Smith, is an Australian international cricketer and former captain of the Australian national team. Born on June 2, 1989, in Sydney, Smith is regarded as one of the best batsmen in the world. He initially started his career as a leg-spinner but later evolved into a top-order batsman. Smith has received several awards for his performances, including the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy (ICC Cricketer of the Year) in 2015 and 2017. He has also faced controversy, notably a ball-tampering scandal in 2018 that resulted in a one-year ban from international cricket. Despite this, he remains a key player in the Australian team.
