Most runs in Tests since Sachin Tendulkar's retirement

Steven Smith

Virat Kohli might be ruling the roost in limited overs cricket but when it comes to Test cricket, there is no one quite like Australia skipper Steven Smith. The number one batsman in ICC Test rankings, Smith has scored 4605 runs in 44 Tests at an average of 67.72.

Since Tendulkar's retirement, Smith has scored 19 tons and 16 fifties in Test cricket, with 215 against England in 2015 Ashes being his highest.

In 2015, Smith won the prestigious Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy after being named the ICC Cricketer of the Year 2015.

He was also adjudged the ICC Test Cricketer of the Year, which made him only the seventh cricketer in the world to bag the two coveted prizes in the same year.
