NEW DELHI: It was an eventful day for Steve Smith on the second day of the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday. The Australian batter etched his name in the record books by becoming the most successful century-maker against India in Test cricket, notching his 11th hundred against them in the first session.
Smith's remarkable innings of 140 off 197 balls also marked his 34th Test century, making him the joint seventh-highest century-maker in Test cricket history. He joined the ranks of legends such as Sunil Gavaskar, Brian Lara, Younis Khan, and Mahela Jayawardene.
