Steve Smith Equals Rahul Dravid, Joe Root In List Of Elite Test Batters
Australian batting stalwart Steve Smith registered his 36th Test century on day 2 of the second Test against Sri Lanka at the Galle International Stadium on Friday. With this century, Smith has now equalled the legendary Rahul Dravid and England's Joe Root in the list of most Test centuries, making him the joint-fifth highest century-maker in Test history. Smith, leading Australia in the absence of Pat Cummins, played a captain's knock, anchoring the innings after the visitors suffered early blows. Walking in at 37/2, following the dismissals of Travis Head (21) and Marnus Labuschagne (4), Smith faced immediate pressure but remained unfazed. He survived a close lbw appeal on the first ball, as the Sri Lankan review revealed the ball was missing the stumps.

"I Actually Felt...": Team India's Treatment Of Shreyas Iyer Surprises Ricky Ponting
Australian legend Ricky Ponting finds it incredulous that Shreyas Iyer has not been given a permanent slot in India's white-ball side, given his magnificent form and the ability to dominate spinners on slow subcontinental pitches. Iyer was one of the vital cogs in India's run to the final of the 50-over World Cup in 2023, with the middle-order batter scoring 530 runs to emerge the seventh-highest run-getter in the global event, and he further validated his prowess in the format with a 36-ball 59 against England in the first ODI at Nagpur on Thursday.
