Top 10 Test match run-scorers of the decade

#3 Virat Kohli (India)- 7,202 runs

Kohli has led India to the number one spot in the world Test rankings

It is a testament to Virat Kohli’s versatility that Test cricket is not considered his strongest form of the game, and yet he is still the third highest run-scorer of the decade. Many consider his strongest format to be the ODIs, in which he has scored 43 centuries, second only to Sachin Tendulkar. However, he has also been a fabulous player in Test cricket, in which he has led India to the number one spot in the world.

Since making his debut in 2011, he has scored 7,202 runs, and an average of just under 55. His conversion record from fifties to hundreds is also excellent. From the 49 occasions that he has passed 50, he has gone on to three figures on 27 occasions. He is a very different to a player like Cheteshwar Pujara, in the way he likes to play his shots, and when he makes big runs, he makes them in a very attractive style.
