Australia’s star batter Steven Smith announced his retirement from ODI cricket on 05 March, bringing the curtain down on a celebrated 50-over career. His final ODI appearance came in the Champions Trophy semi-final against India in Dubai, where he top-scored for Australia with a 73 in a losing cause.
The 35-year-old featured in 170 ODIs, scoring 5,800 runs at an impressive average of 43.28 and a strike rate of 86.96. His tally included 12 centuries and 35 half-centuries, with a career best score of 164 against New Zealand in 2016. Smith finished as Australia’s 12th highest run-getter in ODIs and took 90 catches, while chipping in with 28 wickets after debuting as a leg-spinning all-rounder. A two-time World Cup winner in 2015 and 2023, Smith also captained Australia in 64 ODIs. While he has moved away from the 50-over format, he will continue to represent Australia in Test cricket and T20Is.
