Adam Gilchrist delivers theory on Steve Smith's glare celebration - as defiant Aussie batsman admits he 'rode his luck' after breaking century drought Steve Smith admitted he 'rode his luck' despite producing a masterclass performance at the crease against India to strike his first Test century since June 2023.
Smith (pictured), alongside Travis Head, both hit centuries on day two to help Australia take a 405/7 lead in the third Test.
Smith had been one of several names in the spotlight, following Australia's dismal 295-run defeat by India in the first Border-Gavaskar Test in Perth last month.
