Steve Smith surpasses Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar to become second-fastest to score 27 Test centuries

After a string of low scores in the first two games, Steve Smith finally went back to his prime in the third Test match against India. He tormented the Indian bowlers and smashed a magnificent hundred. It was Smith’s 27th Test century, and with this, the 31-year-old rewrote the record books again. With this ton, Smith also equalled the likes of Virat Kohli, Graeme Smith, and Allan Border to score 27 centuries in the longest format.
