Smith, Shakib, Malan – Biggest Steals of the 2021 IPL Auction

The Quint  

Steve Smith Though Steve Smith did not set IPL 2020 on fire – he scored 311 runs at a strike rate of 131.22 – he was expected to interest a few other teams considering the experience he has. Smith, with a base price of Rs 2 crore, was expected to interest teams such as Royal Challengers Bangalore and Chennai Super Kings, but surprisingly got a lukewarm response before Delhi Capitals picked him up. The DC franchise has a top-heavy batting unit with Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer, and Ajinkya Rahane already in their ranks, and it would be interesting to see where they slot in Smith. However, Shaw struggled with his technique for major parts of IPL 2020, and the new recruit Smith could potentially open the batting alongside Dhawan.
