Graeme Smith is the former captain of the Proteas and holds numerous records thanks to his glittering 12-year career.
He became the youngest captain of the Proteas at just 23 after Shaun Pollock resigned following the disastrous 2003 World Cup campaign.
He played in two Cricket World Cups (2007 and 2011) – South Africa lost to Australia in the 2007 semi-final and lost to New Zealand in the 2011 quarter-final.
Graeme is the fastest South African cricketer to reach 1,000 test runs and has scored the most number of test runs as captain.
Smith married Irish singer Morgan Deane in Cape Town in August 2011. They have two children together – daughter Cadence and son Carter. Sadly, Smith and Morgan divorced four years after they tied the knot.
In December 2016, Smith's girlfriend Romy Lanfranchi gave birth to Smith's third child, a boy. They got engaged last year.
He joined the Drive team in studio to share his thoughts on the upcoming Cricket World Cup. The team questioned him about life after sport, who he's backing for the cup, and much more.
