An interesting series of Tests is underway between India and Australia. Two games have been played so far, with both teams winning one each. The third game being rained out was another story. But the Australian team showed a better performance in this match. Especially Travis Head and Steve Smith strengthened their team by scoring centuries. At this point, Sachin Tendulkar’s great record seemed to be in jeopardy. Either India’s Virat Kohli or Australia’s Steve Smith can break it.
Border-Gavaskar Trophy started in 1996
The Border Gavaskar Trophy, the India vs Australia series, started in 1996. Sachin Tendulkar played this series from 1996 to 2013. During this period, he scored nine centuries in 34 games. This is the highest-scoring century by a batsman in the series. But now he is joined by India’s Virat Kohli and Australia’s Steve Smith.
Virat Kohli and Steve Smith score 9 centuries in BGT
First of all, if we talk about Virat Kohli, he started playing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2011 and since then he has played 27 matches and scored 9 centuries. Australia’s Steve Smith was one step ahead of him. Since 2013, he has scored nine centuries in just 21 games. This means that three batsmen have now scored nine centuries. Whoever scores a century between Virat Kohli and Steve Smith will break Sachin Tendulkar’s record.
Two games left in the series
The series is currently only in its third game. There are two games left. This means that if all goes well, Virat Kohli and Steve Smith will have at least four innings left. Both have a chance to break Sachin Tendulkar’s great record. But it remains to be seen who will complete ten centuries first. At present, everyone’s attention is focused on the third game, with two days left before the game, but due to rain, the result of this game seems difficult to come out.
