#3 Joe Root(ENG) - 948 runs
The ever consistent England Test skipper has been among the runs yet another year and finished the year as the third highest runscorer in the world. Although he did not have stellar time with the bat this year he still managed to score some crucial runs for his team in crunch situations.
His century against India at Oval and another one against Sri Lanka on a viciously turning Pallekele pitch further enhanced his stature as one of the best among the current crop.
His conversion struggles continued this year as well as he got out on most occasions after getting set. He currently holds the fifth position on the ICC Test batsmen rankings
Joe Root has played 13 Test matches this year and scored 948 runs at an average of 41.21 including 2 centuries and 6 fifties.
