Former Australia batsman Brad Hodge, who was one of the best franchise t20 player in the world cricket, said if Steve Smith continues the form and consistency he is showcasing, he could surpass Sachin Tendulkar.
Smith smashed his 20th Test century on day one of the fourth and final Test against India in Dharamsala. It was his third century in the series.
“He’s probably going at one century in every three Tests at the moment so if he keeps playing till he’s 35 — some of us play till we’re 42, so time’s on his side.” he said.
Sachin tops the all-time Test hundred list with 51 from 200 games, ahead of South Africa’s Jacques Kallis (45 in 166) and Australia’s Ponting (41 in 168).
