Smith hit his 35th hundred in a Test game, and that's more than two other really great players, Sunil Gavaskar and Younis Khan. They both had 34 hundreds. Now people can say that Smith is one of the best cricket players ever because of this. He also got to 10,000 runs very fast, faster than almost everyone except four other players. This shows he's very good at cricket and can keep playing well for a long time.

Smith just scored another hundred runs. Now he has five when he played in Asia as the team captain. Joe Root from England also scored a century, but he only got four in 18 innings. Smith did a good job compared to Root, but there's still one person ahead of him. Sir Alastair Cook is the best because he scored six hundreds when he played in Asia as a captain.This remarkable feat highlights Smith’s adaptability and ability to thrive in conditions that often trouble non-Asian batters. His impressive technique against spin and sharp tactical mindset make him one of the best overseas players to have played in Asia.
Steve Smith is very skilled at being the captain for Australia in cricket. Smith still has the ability in his last three times as captain. Steve is amazing at batting, even when it gets very hard, and he shows everyone how to play well. Everyone thinks he's one of the best Test cricket captains when the game is hard. Smith keeps making new records and is unbelievably good at playing the game that takes a long time.
With his latest heroics, Smith has once again proven why he is among the greatest Test batters of this generation, particularly in subcontinental conditions where only a few overseas players have excelled. If his form and leadership continue in this manner, Australia will remain a formidable force in Test cricket, both at home and away.
