Top 5 Test batsmen with highest ICC rating points of all time

#2 Steven Smith (947)

2017 turned out to be a golden year for Australian skipper Steven Smith as he amassed 1305 runs in 11 Tests at an average of 76.76.

The number one batsman in the latest ICC Test Rankings, by a mile, also led his team to reclaim the iconic Ashes urn by beating England comprehensively by a margin of 4-0.

Riding on his Test exploits, the 28-year-old edged closer to Sir Donald Bradman as Smith recorded his career-best rating points of 947, just 14 points shy of the highest-ever rating achieved by Bradman back in 1948.
