Former Australia captain Steve Smith [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/steve-smith/] is all set to return in the circuit with the tour match against Derbyshire after he was seen batting at the nets for the first time after being concussed. Smith has been ruled out for the fourth Test at Headingley as he has been recovering from the concussion. He was injured by a deadly bouncer of Jofra Archer [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jofra-archer/] in the first innings of the second Test. The short ball hit the uncovered area of his neck and he was retired hurt at 80. However, he returned to bat after sometimes and scored 92 before getting dismissed by Chris Woakes. His delayed headaches and dizziness left him out of the second innings as well. However, his replacement, Marnus Labuschagne [https://www.cricbuzz.com/profiles/10182/marnus-labuschagne], has been performing well. He scored three consecutive fifties. Even he also got hit by Archer for the second time this series and had an on-field concussion test. Steve Smith [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/124874-uaoabbdyag-1564714793.jpg]Steve Smith scored the second ton in the second innings. However, Steve Smith is looking forward to returning in the playing XI. Australia’s medical team on Saturday allowed him for a 15-minute session. He will play in the three-day tour match against Derbyshire which is scheduled to begin on Thursday. Even he is expected to return in the squad for the fourth Test at Old Trafford from 4 September. Australia have already won the first Test in the five-match Ashes Test series. Steve Smith scored twin centuries in two innings and helped Australia to win the Test by a massive 251-runs at Edgbaston. Although it was a return game for David Warner and Cameron Bancroft as well, they failed to contribute much. They had returned after completing a year-long ban from International Cricket due to the ball-tampering scandal. Although England have been giving a tough fight to Australia as they need 121 runs to equal the series by 1-1.

David Warner Biography

David Warner has had a fairly long cricketing career, debuting in first class cricket in 2009 for the ODI and the T20 national team. Two years later he kicked off his Test career for the Australian team.

For his T20 debut, David Warner became the first man to play for Australia without a first-class match experience, a record in itself.

However, his blossoming career has been mired in controversy. David Warner has often been described a 'thuggish' on the field. In 2013, he was accused of physically assaulting England player Joe Root. In the same year, he had an on-field altercation with the South Africa A wicketkeeper.

In 2018, he was involved in yet another alternation, again during a South Africa game. But the biggest one yet was in the same year when he and skipper Steve Smith were embroiled in a ball-tampering scandal. He was the vice captain of the Australia team at the time and was forced to step down along with Smith.

IPL Career

David Warner entered the IPL in 2009, playing for the Delhi Daredevils. He remained with the Delhi side until the 2013 season and had a top score of an unbeaten 109*.

A year later he was signed by the Sunrisers Hyderabad and has played for them ever since. David Warner has proven to be quite the asset for the Sunrisers and is an explosive batsman.

He boasts of a strike rate of 143.10 at an average of 41.67. The Australian batsman even boasts of a high score of 126, set in 2017. He and Steve Smith voluntarily pulled out of the IPL in the wake of their ball-tampering saga

IPL 2019 Expectations

Now, David Warner enters IPL 2019 with a clear conscience and his explosive batting nature intact. Sunrisers skipper, Kane Williamson will be hoping that his Aussie neighbour delivers the goods.

Steve Smith Biography

Steve Smith is currently on a redemption arc. He returns to the fray after serving a 1 year ban for his involvement in a ball-tampering saga. Both he and Australia vice captain, David Warner were handed a ban as they were aware of bowler, Cameron Bancroft's activities.

Steve Smith made his Test, ODI and T20 debut back in 2010, nearly a decade ago. Since then, he has risen in the ranks and eventually became captain of the Australian national team. Steve Smith's ranking according to the ICC is number 4 in Test cricket.

IPL Career

Steve Smith's IPL career kicked off with the Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2010. He was drafted into the side, in place of Kiwi, Jesse Ryder.

A year later, Steve Smith was picked up by the Kochi Tuskers Kerala, but had to sit out due to injury. But then, the Kochi team folded and he was left in the void once again.

Steve Smith went unsold in 2012 but was picked up by Pune Warriors India as a replacement for Mitchell Marsh.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-152343" src="http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/stevesmith250319.jpg" alt="Steve Smith" width="769" height="432" />

Then, Steve Smith's IPL career took a turn for the better when the Rajasthan Royals bought him in 2014. Since then, he has remained with the side, except for when the team got banned for their role in a corruption scandal.

During that time, he joined Rising Pune Supergiant for 2 years. After Rajasthan's return, he was roped back in once again.

Expectations for IPL 2019

The Rajasthan Royals are an excellent team and they have a truly well-balanced side. With the return of Steve Smith, their team's arsenal will surely be shored up.

Steve Smith is primarily a right-handed batsman. His technique has attracted plenty of attention owing to its unorthodoxy. He tends to move around in the crease, especially during bowlers' run-up. Smith later ends up with the toes of his feet outside off stump against right-handers
