Steve Smith equals Joe Root in the list of Test hundreds; How far are they from Sachin Tendulkar's record?

Firstpost  

Steve Smith’s 36th Test century in Galle ties him with Rahul Dravid and Joe Root for the fifth-most centuries in Test cricket. While Smith and Root are far behind Sachin Tendulkar’s record, their pursuit of the legendary mark remains an intriguing possibility in the evolving world of cricket. With this knock, Smith not only helped his team in a crucial moment but also etched his name alongside cricketing legends Rahul Dravid and Joe Root, who also share 36 Test centuries each. With 36 centuries apiece, both Smith and Root are still 15 Test centuries behind Tendulkar’s record of 51, a mark that many believe may never be surpassed.
