IND vs AUS: Steve Smith hits first Test century in 18 months, breaks Steve Waugh's record

NEW DELHI: Australia’s star batter Steve Smith ended an 18-month wait for a Test century, reaching the milestone after tea on the second day of the third Test against India at the Gabba in Brisbane on Sunday.
After a shaky start to his innings, Smith found his rhythm and looked increasingly assured once he crossed the 50-run mark.

This was Smith’s 33rd Test century and his first since scoring 110 against England at Lord’s in June 2023. With this knock, Smith moved past Steve Waugh on Australia’s all-time list of Test century-makers, now trailing only Ricky Ponting, who tops the chart with 41 centuries.

Ricky Ponting – 41 centuries
Steve Smith – 33 centuries
Steve Waugh – 32 centuries
Matthew Hayden – 30 centuries
Don Bradman – 29 centuries
Michael Clarke – 28 centuries
