That's how leaders bounce back. Good captains don't just "go out and enjoy cricket" they demand results and get that level of performance and respect in return from players.#RRvMI pic.twitter.com/axzF9AqSwZ

It was a wonderful decision to make Steve Smith captain again and he delivered! Welcome back Steve Smith #RRvMI

Parag was just too good today!
Steve Smith is a different batsman when he is captaining the team. High class batting from him today along with the young Riyan Parag. Much needed win for #RR #RRvMI #IPL2019

Adding misery to Rahane's life!
This match not only proved what additional responsibility of captaincy can do to @stevesmith49 but also how poor captain @ajinkyarahane88 is. #RRvMI #IPL2019

What Iron suit to Tony Stark, Captaincy to Steven Smith. #RRvMI
