Aus vs Ind, 3rd Test: Smith Breaks Australia's Test Century Drought Against India

By IANS News January 08, 2021 • 10:31 AM View: 1796

Prolific batsman Steve Smith on Friday ended Australia's near four-year drought of centuries against India after scoring 131 in the first innings of the ongoing third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

The right-handed batsman was, in fact, the last Australian to score a hundred for his country against India back in 2017 when he made 111 in the first innings of the Dharamsala Test.
