Steve Smith achieved the remarkable feat of scoring 10,000 runs in Test cricket, becoming the 15th player to reach this milestone. He accomplished this feat during the first day of the first Test match between Australia and Sri Lanka in Galle.
Steve Smith became the 15th player to reach 10,000 Test runs, passing the mark on day one of Australia's clash with Sri Lanka in Galle. The 35-year-old headed into this series on 9,999 runs, having just missed out on the five-figure landmark in his home Test against India in Sydney earlier this month.
Smith, captaining his country for this series in the absence of Pat Cummins, became just the fourth Australian to achieve the milestone after Allan Border in 1993, Steve Waugh in 2003 and Ricky Ponting in 2008. It took Smith 115 Tests to reach the mark, making him the joint second fastest - along with former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara - to do so, with only West Indies great Brian Lara ahead of the pair.
