As soon as this tweet happened, there was a wave of concern among the fans that Steve Smith would not represent the team in the game.
A user asked Grok if Steve Smith will not be a part of Multan Sultans in the play-off stage to which Grok said ‘Yes, Steve Smith will not be a part of Multan Sultans in the play-off stage’.
True, Steve Smith will not be a part of Multan Sultans for the playoffs. The team’s official farewell video and “Thank you Steve, it’s been an honor” post confirm that his stay is over after a great run with the Sultans. 💚

Some users are asking the team owner Gohar Shah to confirm it, but there is no official statement or confirmation from Gohar Shah and Multan Sultans management.
