There are many followers to cricket all around the world. Whether they belong to cricketing or non-cricketing nation, people love this bat and ball game. There are many controversies in cricket and the ball tampering one involving the current generation Australian cricketers Steve Smith and David Warner shocked the entire cricketing fraternity. Australian board took the matter seriously and banned Steve Smith and Warner for a period of one year. While they continued playing small tournaments all over the world, they missed professional cricket for a year. This is indeed a long duration and must be a career ending one. Smith and Warner were prolific with their bat till that point and everyone thought that this could end their career forever. That too in a team like Australia, performance matters than experience and their selectors just want a performing team. After one year, both of them returned to the professional cricket in the World cup 2019. Both of them inspite of the year break could perform and have been backbone to their team in the world cup. Immediately following world, Aussies are playing Ashes (against England) and Smith scored centuries in first and second innings of the first test match helping Aussies to win the first test match of the series. While Warner continued to struggle, Smith is looking flawless and has become a run machine. The current situation in Ashes is that if English team can get rid of Smith they can win the game. Even in second test match Smith is scoring fluently, jig jagging around the crease adding dancing skills to his batting. English team are just struggling to get him out. This shows that if you are determined to perform and show the world what you're, none can stop you. Now everyone are wondering how he could motivate himself even though he is out of national team for one year. A true motivation to the people around the world. Take a cue out of his story and apply in your life. Success always lies in our own hands.
