Steve Smith scores his fourth double Test century and scripts history
During the first Test match between Australia and West Indies at Perth Stadium, Steve Smith etched his name into the record books after he joined Sunil Gavaskar and Kane Williamson in the elite list by scoring his fourth double-century.
Sunil Gavaskar and Kane Williamson have scored four double centuries in their Test career. Steve Smith scored an unbeaten 200 off 311 balls where he struck as many as 16 boundaries.
Zak Crawley scores record fastest Test century against Pakistan
Zak Crawley etched his name into the record books after he scored the fastest-ever hundred England opener on Day 1 of the opening Test match against the Pakistan cricket team at Rawalpindi Stadium. He scored 122 off 111 balls (21 fours) before he was dismissed by Haris Rauf in the fifth ball of the 37th over.
Marnus Labuschagne scored his second double Test century during the first Test against West Indies
Australia’s Test specialist Marnus Labuschagne once again proved that he is a utility player for the team in the longest format of the game as he went on to score his second double Test century during the first Test against the West Indies cricket team at Perth Stadium in Perth. Marnus chipped in with a magnificent 204 off 350 balls with the help of 20 boundaries and a six.
Shikhar Dhawan revealed the reason behind benching wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson
India’s talented wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson got just one opportunity to feature in the entire New Zealand tour. The right-handed batter scored 38 runs to his name in the first ODI but ended up on the losing side.
Meanwhile, Shikhar Dhawan added that Sanju Samson has been doing well whenever he gets an opportunity to bat. However, at the same time, he remarked that it is important to back Rishabh Pant since he has done quite well for a longer period of time.
