Steve Smith Scores Record 11th Century Against India

Steve Smith excelled in the fourth Test against India, scoring a record 11th century against the team, and helping Australia establish a commanding total of 454-7 at lunch on day two. His unbeaten 139, alongside a notable 112-run partnership with captain Pat Cummins, has positioned Australia favorably in the match. Despite a promising start with a 102-run partnership between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli, India faltered after Jaiswal's run-out for 82, leading to Kohli's subsequent dismissal. India's bowlers struggled to contain the Australian batsmen, particularly Mohammed Siraj, who was heavily criticized for his performance. As the series is tied at 1-1, both teams face pressure in the upcoming matches. Additionally, India commemorated the passing of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh during the match.
