    Australia’s Steve Smith has matched former England captain Joe Root’s record of scoring the most Test centuries against India (9) in a display of exceptional batting prowess during the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final.

    Smith’s achievement places him among cricketing legends such as Ricky Ponting, Sir Viv Richards, and Sir Garfield Sobers, who have also notched eight Test centuries against India. Surpassing the 2000-run mark against India in Test cricket, Smith’s 9th ton further cements his status as one of the greatest Test batsmen of his generation.

    While Smith’s feat elevates him to the top echelon of Test centurions against India, his impact extends beyond this record. With 31 Test hundreds to his name, Smith ranks third among Australia’s highest century-makers, placing him alongside cricketing greats like Ricky Ponting, Steve Waugh, and Sir Don Bradman.

    Smith’s exceptional performances have also left an indelible mark on England’s cricketing landscape. His seven Test centuries on English soil position him among a select group, including the iconic Sir Don Bradman, who have achieved such a feat.

    Notably, Smith’s achievement of reaching 31 centuries in just 170 innings makes him the second-fastest player to accomplish this milestone, trailing only the legendary Sachin Tendulkar. His ability to score centuries at a rapid pace underscores his standing as a modern-day great in the cricketing world.

    As Steve Smith continues to captivate fans with his exceptional skills, his adaptability, hunger for runs, and ability to perform under pressure make him an invaluable asset to the Australian cricket team. With more matches on the horizon, fans eagerly anticipate witnessing Smith’s continued excellence on the field.
