During the IPL 2021 Player Auction last week, the runner-up of the previous season acquired the services of experienced Australia batsman Steve Smith. The Australian batsman is looking forward to creating some "amazing memories" with Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

In a video shared by Delhi Capitals on Twitter, Smith said, "Hey there Delhi Capitals fans, just wanted to say that I am really excited about joining the team this year. I think it is a great squad of players and a great coach. I look forward to getting over there and creating some amazing memories and hopefully helping the team go one better than last year.."
