How can this man have haters!

Steve Smith haters have nowhere to hide now.

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

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

This is hilarious!

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