Australia’s star batter Steve Smith has announced his retirement from ODIs following his team’s exit from the ICC Champions Trophy on Tuesday. He was named captain for the tournament after regular skipper Pat Cummins was ruled out due to injury.

Smith and Virat Kohli have long been part of a competitive rivalry, with debates over who is the better batsman. While Kohli holds superior records, there was a time when their competition was closely contested.

Smith leaves the format as one of Australia’s most accomplished cricketers, having played an impressive 170 ODIs, amassing 572 runs, and notching up 12 centuries. He was also a two-time World Cup winner. With this decision, Smith will no longer be part of the Australian squad for the 2027 ODI World Cup.
