Australian batsman and skipper Steve Smith along with David Warner and the other opening batsman Cameron Bancroft found himself into a nasty controversy this year. The three cricketers received slamming from cricket lovers worldwide after they got involved in the sandpaper scandal.
Following the scandal, they were suspended from playing cricket and it came as a huge jolt for Australian cricket.
Now as the year comes to a close and his ban term also coming to an end Steve Smith has been seen in a commercial of network provider Vodafone. In the advertisement, Steve Smith talks about making a comeback after all the troubles and working towards restoring the lost integrity. Watch the video below:

It's kind of like when Vodafone lied to me for years and told me the drop outs and failures to connect were because of my phone when really it was their network.

Good example of polishing a turd. Steven "Sandpaper" Smith gets a golden halo from one of his sponsors.

Appalling – Steve Smith plans to cheat, cheats, gets caught out, continues to lie about it, eventually apologises, and then uses mental illness to try to avoid/excuse/get sympathy for his actions.
