'It Was Playing On My Mind...': Smith Admits 10,000-run Marker Weighed On Him In Sydney
New Delhi: Australian veteran batter Steve Smith revealed that the pressure of reaching the 10,000-run milestone weighed heavily on him during the SCG Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against India.
Smith was needed to score just 38 runs across both innings to become the fourth Australian to reach the landmark, joining the ranks of Ricky Ponting, Allan Border, and Steve Waugh. However, he fell short of a run in reaching the milestone as he scored 33 and 4 in the two innings.
Smith admitted that while he generally avoids focusing on statistical achievements, the significance of 10,000 runs made it a different challenge, and it even affected his sleep leading up to the match.
