Fans on Twitter reacted that the Australia National Cricket Team batter Steve Smith slammed a magnificent century in the ongoing third Test against the India National Cricket Team. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 match between the teams is taking place at the Gabba in Brisbane.
Steve Smith is well and truly back as he played one of his best Test innings in the ongoing game. The premier batter was under a lot of pumps for his poor performances of late, and there were even calls related to his retirement, especially with him failing consistently.
Steve Smith replies to all the criticism in style
However, Steve Smith replied to all the criticism in style and came up with a brilliant effort with the bat. He walked out to bat after the Australia National Cricket Team lost two quick wickets in the first session of day two. He soaked in all the pressure and made sure he stayed there for a long.
Steve Smith initially struggled to get going, but he made sure that he didn’t give away his wicket. The batter hung in there and it was only a matter of time for him to return to his best. Once he was in, he made sure that he made it count and replied to all his critics with his bat.
Steve Smith slams his 33rd Test hundred, ends with innings of 101 runs
Steve Smith first played second fiddle to Travis Head, who hit a brutal century. But once the left-hander got to his ton, the stage was taken by the right-hander. He hit a flurry of boundaries to up the ante of his innings. After that, he looked extremely focused and hit a blistering ton.
This was his 33rd Test hundred and 10th against India National Cricket Team. However, he couldn’t last long after reaching the century as he was removed by Jasprit Bumrah, who took his third wicket in the innings and brought his team back.
Steve Smith ended with an innings of 101 runs off 190 balls. He also hit 12 fours in his innings. This made his first century in 25 innings and it surely would’ve lifted the monkey off his back.

Reversed Head’s Gabba form, got Steve Smith back into scoring hundreds. You just hang in there Khawaja and McSweeney, we’ll revive and establish your careers respectively too. We are just that kind of a team. ๐ฅฐ
