Steve Smith also registered for the auction

Former Australian captain and legendary batsman Steve Smith has also registered for the auction. Let us tell you that Smith was also a part of the mega auction of IPL 2025 last year, but he was not bought by any team in the auction. He remained unsold. It is being said that this time some team can buy him, because Smith is in strong form.
