Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, It’s Steve Smith! The Australian player is receiving showers of praise ever since his superman save for a boundary. Currently, Australia and South Africa are battling for the T20I series Trophy. Read: Steve Smith Taken by Suprise by Teenager’s Sharp Bouncer [https://www.essentiallysports.com/cricket-news-steve-smith-taken-by-surprise-by-teenagers-sharp-bouncer/] Towards the beginning of the season, Smith found himself at the receiving end of crude remarks for hitting a dead ball. However, the player made a stupendous comeback with an extraordinary save. What happened was South Africa won the toss and chose to bat. Quinton de Kock was one of the opening batsmen for the host country. Fast forward to the sixth over when Smith truly showed the world what he is capable of. STEVE SMITH TAKES A SUPERMAN LEAP When Adam Zampa [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Zampa] delivered the second ball, de Kock sent it flying towards the boundary for a clear six. However, Smith leapt into the air, caught the ball, threw it back inside the boundary while he was in mid-air, and sent it back. As a result, a sure six turned into an unexpected single. The stadium gave a standing ovation to his efforts. Smith expressed his concern regarding the type of welcome he will receive considering his involvement in the scandal. “They are hostile at the best of times here. It doesn’t bother me too much. I honestly don’t notice it, particularly when I am batting.” SMITH OPENS UP ABOUT SPECTATOR REMARKS Additionally, he expressed how he feels fielding near the crowd given the rude and crude remarks. “It’s just words, it doesn’t affect me. I think I will be doing some outfielding, so I’m looking forward to it. I will smile and laugh and play along and have fun.” Even though Smith stopped the six, de Kock finished the over with a four and a six. However, de Kock’s wicket was taken by Zampa himself.

Quinton de Kock Biography

Quinton de Kock is a highly rated South African player who has worked his way into the main squad. He has achieved some remarkable feats at a young age, having debuted in 2012 at the age of 20. It is clear that Quinton de Kock is a star for the future. He has wowed with the willow and is an exceptional wicketkeeper as well.

He burst onto the scene with the South Africa U-19 side. During the 2012 U-19 World Cup, he was the Proteas' highest run-scorer. It wasn't long before Quintn de Kock was included in the national team. The move was perfectly timed as star player AB de Villiers needed a break.

A year after his debut, his fame only grew as he scored three successive ODI centuries against India. However, disaster struck as an ankle injury nearly put paid to his 2015 ODI World Cup chances. Luckily, Quinton de Kock was able to recover.

Unfortunately, his form never got the memo and he endured a miserable tournament. As a result, he was shuttled in and out of the squad for the remainder of the year.

In 2016, Quinton de Kock set a record for being the fifth South African to score five fifty-plus scores in a row.

IPL Career

With regard to the IPL, Quinton de Kock made a name for himself in the now defunct Champions League T20. Now, in IPL 2019, he became the first traded player, switching from Royal Challengers Bangalore to Mumbai Indians.

Quinton de Kock kick-started his IPL career with the Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2013. But like most rookie players, he too was stuck in the limited chances zone. The Sunrisers evidently decided that they saw enough and sent him packing. That was when the Delhi Daredevils fished him out and he thrived after a shaky start. In IPL 2016, Quinton de Kock finished as Delhi's top run-getter.

Sadly, injury woes struck again, this time a finger injury, forcing him to miss the entire 2017 season. In 2018, he changed sides, to the RCB team in 2018. After getting a good number of chances, Quinton de Kock was assigned the 'important role' of seat-warmer.

IPL 2019 Expectations

Quinton de Kock is a talented player, and at 26, he still has it in him to score big. He boasts of a highest score of 108, set in 2016. He also has a strike rate of 131.48 in the IPL at an average of 29.12.

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.

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
