Ranking the top 10 cricketers in the world at the moment

Honorable Mention- Steven Smith

The man who bleeds Test Cricket

Having made his first-class debut as a leg-spinner and Steve Smith grew to become one of the best Test batsmen that the world has ever seen. The departure of legends like Ricky Ponting and Micheal Clarke left a huge void in the Australian middle order, but the lad from New South Wales was there for Australia's rescue.

Steven Smith has scored 6199 runs at an average of 61.38 in the 64 matches that he has played for the country. Most of those runs came in the alien conditions where most of his teammates struggled. Steve Smith was not only a great batsman but also a shrewd captain.

Smith does not play any active international cricket right now and that is the reason why he is being listed under honorable mentions. This has been a horrible year for Smith. But everyone in the cricketing fraternity can be sure that the champion cricketer in him will come back stronger than ever.
