Marcus Stoinis Reveals Why Steve Smith Is A Special Cricketer

Marcus Stoinis Hails Steve Smith as a “True Professional” Ahead of the 2023 World Cup

Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has nothing but praise for his teammate Steve Smith. In a recent interview with Revsportz, Stoinis gushed about Smith’s passion for cricket. Citing Smith’s unquenchable thirst for improvement, he drew parallels between Smith and Indian cricket sensation Virat Kohli.

Steve Smith: A Journey from Leg-Spinner to Batting Maestro

Smith began his international career as a leg-spinner. However, he quickly found his calling as a batsman. With an illustrious career, Smith has played 102 Tests, 142 ODIs, and 63 T20Is. He’s amassed more than 15,000 runs across formats, including 44 hundreds and 72 fifties. Undoubtedly, Smith’s consistency will make him a vital asset for Australia in the upcoming 2023 World Cup in India.

Stoinis’ Insight into Smith’s Mindset

During the interview, Stoinis elaborated on what makes Smith a special batter. “He’s very similar to Virat [Kohli] in terms of bringing the best version of himself to each contest,” Stoinis noted. He also mentioned Smith’s extreme dedication, stating, “You have heard the stories of him not sleeping. He’s just infatuated with the game.” It’s this relentless focus that has made Smith a cricketing powerhouse.

Recent Performance and T20 World Cup

Smith was a key figure in the recent Ashes 2023 series. Although not topping the charts, he was the fifth-leading run-getter, racking up 373 runs in five matches. His performance included one century and two half-centuries, with an average of 37.30. Despite this, Stoinis believes that Smith is still on an upward trajectory. “I think this new, aggressive Steven Smith in white-ball cricket is improving every series,” Stoinis added.

The Buzz for the Upcoming World Cup

Excitement is building for the 2023 World Cup, and Smith’s role is under keen observation. Stoinis shared that Smith will open the batting in T20 cricket. “I am excited to watch him and come this World Cup; I think, as we all expect, he’s going to be a dominant player,” said Stoinis. This move adds another layer of anticipation for fans and experts alike.

The True Professional

According to Stoinis, Smith’s professionalism is what sets him apart. His dedication to the game, his insatiable appetite for improvement, and his mental resilience make him a “true professional.” These traits, Stoinis believes, will serve Australia well in the high-stakes environment of the World Cup.

In an interview on Revsportz, Stoinis shared his thoughts on why Smith is a special batter. “[He is] very similar to Virat [Kohli] in terms of bringing the best version of himself to each contest. You have heard the stories of him not sleeping. He’s just infatuated with the game; he’s infatuated with getting better, with improving his concentration. He’s a true professional and I am excited he’s in this upcoming tournament. He’s going to be opening the batting T20 cricket as well. I think this new, aggressive Steven Smith in white ball cricket, he’s improving every series. I am excited to watch him and come this World Cup, I think, as we all expect, he’s going to be a dominant player.”
