Top 10 active batsmen with most runs in Test cricket

#3 Ross Taylor - New Zealand

Ross Taylor's famous tongue poking celebration after scoring a test century

Ross Taylor has been the batting mainstay of the New Zealand middle order for over a decade now. He has amassed over 6000 runs in both the ODI and Test formats of the sport. He has played all the roles from a pinch-hitter to a sheet anchor for his team with aplomb and continues to do so in all formats of the game.

The understated approach with which he goes about his game and the runs that he has accumulated over the years is a testament to his longevity and dedication towards his craft. He is less talked about when we talk about the great batsmen of the game but he will definitely be much talked about in the international circles after his swan song from the sport.
