Steve Smith, the Australian cricket batsman, reached the milestone of 5000 ODI runs in today’s match against India. He became the third-fastest Australian to achieve this feat, after Don Bradman and Matthew Hayden.
Smith scored a brilliant 164 runs in his innings, which helped Australia win the match by 10 wickets. He was named the Man of the Match for his performance.
Smith is one of the best batsmen in the world in all three formats of the game. He has scored over 10,000 runs in both Tests and ODIs. He is also the current ICC Test Player of the Year.
Smith’s achievement is even more remarkable considering that he has had to overcome a number of challenges in his career. He was banned from international cricket for one year in 2018 for his role in the ball-tampering scandal. However, he has since returned to the game stronger than ever.
