Steve Smith is tied with Rohit Sharma for the most centuries scored and enters the superstar list
Smith set many records with his double century against the West Indies in the ongoing test series, as well as another important statistic. In terms of centuries, he is now tied with modern-day great Rohit Sharma.
There are no prizes for guessing who the current batter with the most centuries scored is.
Steve Smith now has 41 international centuries to his record, making him the newest entrant to the list of batters with the most centuries.
Steve Smith has an amazing test match average of 60 and has scored almost 8000 runs in fewer than 90 tests. Steve has 69 half-centuries and 41 centuries in three forms, with a career average of 50. He has nearly 14,000 runs to his name, and take into account that he was suspended for a year of international cricket.
Most hundreds in International cricket among active players:
- Virat Kohli – 71
- Joe Root – 44
- David Warner – 44
- Steve Smith – 41*
- Rohit Sharma- 41
Current-generation batters are major fans of the game’s shortest format. The world is a talent hotspot, but a substantial percentage of that talent is drawn to T20s and eventually rakes big across the globe in various leagues. Despite the tendency, players such as Joe Root and Steve Smith have excelled by sticking to their playing skills in the game’s oldest format.
David Warner has gone nearly two years without hitting a century, while Joe Root, like Virat Kohli, has found his lost midas touch. Rohit Sharma will eventually rediscover his lost stride, and we shall see our boyhood heroes perform admirably again.
