    What's the story

    Australian batter Steven Smith slammed a century on Day 2 of the 4th Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the MCG.

    Smith added a century-plus stand with his skipper Pat Cummins after Australia were down to 299/6.

    The former, who completed his 34th Test century, equaled several legends.

    Smith now also has the most Test tons for a batter against India.

    Steven Smith: 11 hundreds

    As mentioned, Smith now has the most centuries against India in the format.

    He raced to his 11th Test century against this opposition in the Boxing Day match at the MCG.

    Smith broke a tie with England's Joe Root, who owns 10 tons in this regard.

    The former has over 2,300 runs at a remarkable average of 62.32 against India in Tests.

    Joe Root: 10 hundreds 

    Root, who has been a member of Fab Four alongside Smith, owns 10 centuries against India in Test cricket. His tally also includes 11 half-centuries.

    The former England captain has racked up 2,846 runs from 30 Tests at an incredible average of 58.08 against India.

    Root, who has played 152 Tests, made his debut in 2012 against India.

    Ponting, Richards, Robers: 8 hundreds 

    Only three other batters have more than seven centuries against India in Test cricket - Ricky Ponting, Vivian Richards, and Sir Garry Sobers (8 each).

    Notably, each of the three players finished with an average of over 50 against India - Ponting (54.36), Richards (50.71), and Sobers (83.47).

    The three veterans were match-winners for their respective teams in the format.
