Steve Smith continued his domination in the longest format as he slammed his 30th ton in the ongoing third Test against South Africa at SCG.

Batting at No. 4, the veteran right-hander scored 104 off 192 balls before being dismissed by Proteas spinner Keshav Maharaj. His knock was studded with 11 fours and 2 sixes.

With this hundred, Smith also went past the legendary Sir Don Bradman’s tally of 29 centuries in the traditional format of the game.

After reaching the milestone, Steve Smith caught everyone’s attention with his celebration. He pointed towards the dressing room before placing down his bat and mimicking a chainsaw.

The video of Smith's "chainsaw" celebration is doing the rounds on social media and the star batter explained the reason behind it during a press conference.

"This morning Marn was complaining about getting chainsawed. Anrich's ball that got him out kicked up a bit and he got chainsawed," Smith quipped. “So, I said to him, 'I thought you were out caught on about 70 anyway, so you'll be alright, no worries.'”

"He goes, 'Stop being so negative, Steve. I hope you get chainsawed today,' So I said, 'Alright, when I get 100, I'll reference the chainsaw,'" he added.

Smith broke a number of records with his century. He has now become Australia’s joint third-highest century maker with only Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting ahead of him in the last.

Overall, Smith is the second fastest to hit 30 Test centuries after Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar.
