The Australian veteran batter Smith fell just one run short of achieving it at his home ground in Sydney during the fifth and final Test against India earlier this month. Smith, who needed 38 runs at the SCG to reach the landmark, managed only 37 in the match, which Australia won by six wickets to reclaim the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after over a decade. The 34-year-old admitted that the milestone weighed heavily on his mind during the game.
