Kane Williamson hits a century, equals Steve Smith in 24 hours.

On one hand, the third match of the five-match Border Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is being played in Brisbane. On the other hand, the third and final match of the three-match series is being played between England and New Zealand. Australia is in a strong position in the match between India and Australia, while New Zealand has maintained its hold in the match being played between England and New Zealand. When both these teams are ahead of the opposing team in the match, then obviously their players must have also performed strongly. Yes… on one hand, while Steve Smith and Travis Head scored centuries for Australia, Kane Williamson also scored a century for New Zealand. However, there was a special coincidence in these century innings of Kane and Smith.

Smith scored his 33rd Test century on 15 December

Steve Smith scored a century on the second day (15 December) of the Gaba Test against India. He scored 101 runs in 190 balls against India. This was his 33rd century in Tests. Earlier, Smith had completed his 32nd Test century against England in June 2023.

Williamson scored his 33rd Test century on 16 December

Steve Smith scored his 33rd century on 15 December, while the very next day (16 December) New Zealand's legendary batsman Kane Williamson scored his 33rd century in his Test career. He scored 156 runs in 204 balls in the second innings against England.

Steve Smith, Kane Williamson, Joe Root and Virat Kohli are considered the greatest batsmen of the current era. Smith and Kane have put their team in a strong position by scoring centuries, while Joe Root is also in the best form of his career and recently he completed the 37th century of his Test career. But India's veteran Virat Kohli has been a flop in the current series except for the century in the Perth Test. After being a flop in the Adelaide Test, his bat did not work in Gabba as well. Virat was out for just three runs in the first innings.
