Steven Smith has the least amount of matches to achieve this mega milestone. Smith has taken just 87 matches to reach 28 Test tons. This puts him way ahead in the list of the fav 4. Joe Root too has been in incredible form off late. The English batter tormented New Zealand and then India in the Test series.
Steve Smith’s first Test hundred in 17 Test inns. Pretty rough patch by his standards. Although he’s been consistent in this period without scoring big, in the previous 16 inns:
Runs: 648
Average: 40.50
Hundreds: 0
Fifties: 7— Rehan Ulhaq (@Rehan_ulhaq) July 8, 2022
Virat Kohli stands third on the list. The poor form of the former India skipper continues, as Kohli failed to score an international century since November of 2019. New Zealand batter Kane Williamson stands fourth in the list. He has managed to register 24 Test centuries in 88 games.

Steven Smith could very well go on and score a couple more hundred with the form he is currently in. Smith has now amassed 8125 runs in Test cricket from just 153 innings. Smith has a good average of 51.71 against Sri Lanka and will look to inflict more pain on the Sri Lankan bowlers.
