This Australian batsman came close to Sachin Tendulkar’s great record
An interesting test series continues between India and Australia. Two matches have been played so far and both the teams have won one match each. It is another matter that the third match has been disrupted due to rain. But the Australian team has shown a much better game in this match. Especially Travis Head and Steve Smith have strengthened their team by scoring centuries. With this, a big record of Sachin Tendulkar seems to be in danger. Any one of India’s Virat Kohli and Australia’s Steve Smith can break it.
Border Gavaskar Trophy was started in the year 1996
Border Gavaskar Trophy i.e. India vs Australia series was started in the year 1996. Sachin Tendulkar played this series from 1996 to 2013. During this period, he scored 9 centuries in 34 matches played. Which was the highest century scored by any batsman in this series. But now India’s Virat Kohli and Australia’s Steve Smith have also come at par with him.
Virat Kohli and Steve Smith scored 9 centuries in BGT
First of all, if we talk about Virat Kohli, he started playing in Border Gavaskar Trophy in the year 2011, since then he has played 27 matches and scored 9 centuries. Australia’s Steve Smith is one step ahead of him. He has scored 9 centuries in just 21 matches since 2013. That means now three batsmen have scored 9 centuries. Whoever scores a century between Virat Kohli and Steve Smith will break Sachin Tendulkar’s record.
There are still two matches left in the series
Right now only the third match of this series is going on. There are still two matches left. That means, if everything goes well, Virat Kohli and Steve Smith have at least four innings left. Both will have a chance to break the great record of Sachin Tendulkar. But it remains to be seen who will be successful in completing ten centuries first. At present, everyone’s eyes are on the third match, which has two days left, but due to rain, it seems very difficult to get the result of this match.
