5 active batsmen with the highest batting average in Tests

#3 Kane Williamson

Kane Williamson

Williamson is one the most well-equipped Test batsmen of the current generation. He is technically very correct and he can play both spin and pace with equal ease. He has led New Zealand really well and taken their cricket to new highs.

New Zealand's recent series win against Pakistan in UAE is a testimony to this fact. So far in his career, he has scored 5815 runs from 69 Test matches at an average of 51.91 with the help of 19 centuries and 29 fifties.

#2 Virat Kohli

Kohli is one of the all-time best

Easily the best and the most equipped batsman of the current generation, Kohli's intensity and concentration has been the stuff of a legend. He has dominated almost every bowler he has played against in his career.

Kohli has an exceptional conversion rate which is evident from the fact that he has scored 25 centuries and 19 fifties in his career so far. So far, he has scored 6508 runs from 75 Test matches at an average of 54.23.

#1 Steven Smith

Smith has been out of Test cricket for about a year

Smith leads this list and that too with some distance. He has a humongous Test batting average of 61.37 and he has an exceptional conversion rate as well. Smith has the ability to play both spin and pace with equal ease.

Smith started off his career as a leg-spinner, but later, transformed into an exceptional Test batsman. So far in his career, he has scored 6199 runs from 64 Test matches with the help of 23 centuries and 24 fifties.
