The ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy can put an end to the careers of many players. Such a possibility is being expressed especially about Steve Smith. However, he is included in the list of Australia’s best batsmen, who have won many memorable matches for the Kangaroo team and have also made many big records.
But, his recent form has become a headache for Australia. He has not scored a single century in the last one and a half years. He could not do anything special in the Perth Test against India and could score only 17 runs in both the innings. If his condition remains the same in this series, he may surprise everyone by announcing his retirement.
Steve Smith’s flop performance continues
The surprising thing is that not only in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, his performance has not been anything special against Pakistan, West Indies and New Zealand as well. Not only this, if we look at Steve Smith’s performance in the last 11 matches, he has only disappointed. He has scored half-centuries only four times in the last 22 innings. His highest score has been 91 not out, which he made against West Indies. Apart from this, in the last five matches, he has scored only 213 runs at an average of 30.42.
Smith is hitting his own foot with an axe
Looking at Steve Smith’s recent performance, the Australian management may decide to drop him from the team after the Border Gavaskar Trophy. It has been seen in the Australian team that players are given full opportunities. But after poor form, they are also dropped. In such a situation, do not be surprised if Cricket Australia takes a big decision regarding Steve Smith. If something like this happens to the Kangaroo player and he does not get opportunities, then retirement is the last option left for him.
