Talking about Steve Smith in Ashes 2019, he was having a time of his life in the series as the Australian scored 774 runs and surpassed his own record which he had scripted in 2014. Back then he had made 739 runs. In Ashes 2019, the Australian batted with a stunning average of 110.57. Sadly the batsman could not get featured in the third Test match after he was hit by a bouncer by Jofra Archer. With this terrific performance, he also walked away with the Man of the Series Award. The Australian made a comeback into cricket after a hiatus of a year due to Sandpaper gate.
