Just a few days ago Australian captain Steve Smith was India’s fiercest enemy on the cricket pitch during India's 2-1 Test series win over Australia.

The series was mired in controversies with one altercation following another. It all started when Smith was caught taking dressing room help in taking a DRS call and Kohli stopped short of calling him a cheat.

The fireworks continued till the final Test in Dharamsala, in which Ravindra Jadeja and Matthew Wade were involved in a verbal duel and Smith was heard using a cuss word against Murali Vijay for claiming a catch that was deemed not clean.

But the Indian Premier League seems to have calmed Smith and he has won over some Indian fans.

He shared a picture of himself trying out some traditional Indian fashion in Pune with Rising Pune Supergiants team-mate Ajinkya Rahane.

Some fans called him ‘Peshwa Steve Vitthal Smith’ while other named him ‘Peshwa smithrao’. Some even called him ‘Stevenekar Smith Marathi manus.’

So, what do y'all think?
