#INDvsAUS  #Australia Captain  Steve Smith, the New Cricket 'Don' of #AustraliaSydney : #Australia’s young skipper #SteveSmith Surpassed  continued his relentless form as he went past cricketing #legend Don #Bradman’s tally (715 runs,in 1947 /48 ) of most runs in a single #India- #Australia series.

Even 67 years after his retirement, Bradman’s phenomenal numbers continue to be the record to beat and Steve Smith has managed to surpass one such monumental effort . Don  #Bradman had socred 715 in a series against India in 1947/48, and that tally sat at the top of the list until Friday, when #Smith raced past him during a quick-fire knock of 71.
#SteveSmith finished the series with 769 runs in 8 innings at an exceptional average of 128.16. His penchant for big scores has been well-conveyed in his four tons and two #fifties in the series.
In the Indian camp, Smith’s opposite number Virat Kohli is not too far away either. With four tons and a #fifty in seven innings so far, #ViratKohli has an aggregate of 646 runs in seven innings.
In the race to supremacy with the bat in India-Australia series, #ViratKohli is 60 runs behind #RickyPonting (706 in 2003-04) and 69 behind #Bradman.
With Australia expected to declare overnight or early on Day 5 and set India a record total to chase, an ever-confident and positive #ViratKohli will be far more eager to shatter Smith’s tally and guide India to their first win of the series
