Australia team is playing the second match of the two -match Test series on Sri Lanka tour these days. In this match, Australia captain Steve Smith has increased by a special double century.
Smith is eyeing the world record of former Team India player and former head coach Rahul Dravid. At the same time, Smith has broken the record of his team ie former Australia captain Ricky Ponting.
Actually, this record is to catch the most catch in Test cricket. During the first innings of the second Test against Sri Lanka, Smith broke the record of Ricky Ponting by taking 2 catches.
Ponting caught 196 catches while playing Test cricket in his career. Now Smith has crossed this figure and took 197 catches.
Now if Smith takes 3 catches in the second innings, then he will complete the double century of taking a catch in Test cricket.
The record of the most catches in the Test is recorded in the name of Rahul Dravid. Dravid took a total of 210 catches in his Test career. Now it will be interesting to see whether Smith can break Dravid’s record in his career or not.
