5 current batsmen who can score 10,000 runs in Test Cricket

#3 Steve Smith

The current Australian team seems to be deeply missing the services of Steve Smith

The former Australian skipper has been one of his country's most successful sportspersons in the past few years. Hailed as one of the finest batsmen of the current era, Steve Smith is an artist at work while at the crease. Possessing quite an unorthodox technique, he often strikes fans as a gritty customer who can take on any bowling unit on his day.

Entering the Test scene in 2010 as a bowling-allrounder, Smith soon discovered his batting prowess and gained mastery at it. In the 64 Tests that he has played for Australia so far, the 29-year-old has scored 6199 runs at an impeccable average of 61.38. En route, Smith has also scored 23 hundreds and two double centuries.

However, the recent ban has come as a major impediment to his batting juggernaut. Post ban, the man from New South Wales will be looking to weave his magic once again and score the remaining 3801 runs to become the fourth Aussie to go past the 10,000 run mark in Tests.
