स्टीव स्मिथ का 36वां टेस्ट शतक, द्रविड़ और रूट की बराबरी की
Steve Smith: ऑस्ट्रेलियाई बल्लेबाज स्टीव स्मिथ ने शुक्रवार को गाले इंटरनेशनल स्टेडियम में श्रीलंका के खिलाफ दूसरे टेस्ट के दूसरे दिन अपना 36वां टेस्ट शतक बनाया। इस शतक के साथ, स्मिथ अब सबसे ज्यादा टेस्ट शतक बनाने वालों की सूची में दिग्गज राहुल द्रविड़ और इंग्लैंड के जो रूट की बराबरी कर चुके हैं, जिससे वह टेस्ट इतिहास में सबसे ज्यादा शतक बनाने वाले संयुक्त पांचवें खिलाड़ी बन गए हैं।
पैट कमिंस की अनुपस्थिति में ऑस्ट्रेलिया की अगुआई कर रहे स्मिथ ने कप्तान की पारी खेली और मेहमान टीम को शुरुआती झटके लगने के बाद पारी को संभाला। ट्रैविस हेड (21) और मार्नस लाबुशेन (4) के आउट होने के बाद 37/2 पर बल्लेबाजी करते हुए स्मिथ ने तुरंत दबाव का सामना किया, लेकिन वे बेफिक्र रहे। पहली गेंद पर एलबीडब्ल्यू की करीबी अपील से वे बच गए, क्योंकि श्रीलंकाई रिव्यू से पता चला कि गेंद स्टंप्स को मिस कर रही थी।
छठी गेंद पर रन बनाने के बाद स्मिथ ने तेजी से लय हासिल की और परबथ जयसूर्या की गेंद पर मिडविकेट पर चौका जड़ा। लंच के समय वह 23 रन पर थे और उन्होंने उस्मान ख्वाजा (36) के साथ 54 रन की महत्वपूर्ण साझेदारी की, लेकिन दूसरे सत्र की शुरुआत में ही निशान पेरिस ने ख्वाजा का विकेट चटका दिया। स्मिथ को एलेक्स कैरी के रूप में एक सक्षम जोड़ीदार मिला और दोनों ने मिलकर शतकीय साझेदारी की, जिससे श्रीलंकाई गेंदबाजों को निराशा हुई और ऑस्ट्रेलिया को मजबूत स्थिति में पहुंचा दिया।
