Steve Smith is considered one of the top players in all categories in contemporary batting tournaments. Smith started his career as a leg spinner and faced criticism for the decision before being chosen to play for the national team. However, Steve Smith was able to turn things around and establish himself as one of the best batsmen in the game.

Steve Smith made his debut in the game during the 2007–2008 season. He immediately made a name for himself as a leg-spinner with a high turn rate who could also contribute with the bat in the lower order.
