Steve Smith Breaks Virat Kohli’s Record, Reaches Major Milestone
Australian batter Steve Smith has shattered a major record held by India’s Virat Kohli, securing the top spot in an elite list.
Smith Reaches 10,000 Test Runs with a Century
In a recent Test match against Sri Lanka in Galle, Steve Smith achieved a historic milestone by completing 10,000 Test runs. Adding to the achievement, he scored his 35th Test century, further solidifying his reputation as one of the game’s greatest batsmen.
Smith reached this feat in just 205 innings, making him the 15th player in cricket history to cross the 10,000-run mark in Test cricket.
Breaking Virat Kohli’s Overseas Century Record
Smith’s century against Sri Lanka was also his 17th Test century on foreign soil, surpassing Virat Kohli’s record of 16 overseas Test centuries. With this, he now holds the record for the most Test centuries scored away from home among active players.
Joining Australian Legends
At 35 years old, Steve Smith has now joined an exclusive group of Australian cricketing greats, including Ricky Ponting, Allan Border, and Steve Waugh, all of whom have scored over 10,000 Test runs.
Sachin Tendulkar Still Leads the Chart
While Smith has made history, the record for the most Test runs remains unchallenged. Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar still holds the top position with 15,921 Test runs, making him the highest run-scorer in the format’s history.
Steve Smith’s latest achievements further cement his legacy as one of the finest Test cricketers of the modern era.
