Australia's batting stalwart and their skipper for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has called his time from One Day International (ODI) cricket after the exit from the semi-final against India. He has been a linchpin in Australia's batting order in this format for more than 15 years. Also, his experience and leadership ability have helped Australia win games. His impact at no. 3 for Australia was immense. Overall, in his ODI career, Smith has amassed 5800 runs, 4369 of which came while batting at no. 3 in this format. Now, as the Aussie great has announced his retirement from this format, Australia will look for someone who can fill the void and take the responsibility to bat one down and guide the innings the way Smith used to do. Though replacing Smith is not an easy task, but there are a few players who can take up the challenge and try to deliver their best at No. 3 for Australia in this format.
