One unbreakable record of top 6 current batsmen
Some records on the list are very hard to challenge.
5) Steve Smith
Steve Smith is arguably the best coming age Test batsman. Although he started his career as a leg-spin bowler, Smith has transformed over the years as a world-class Test batsman. He has been consistently scoring runs in all types of conditions because of which he has an unbelievable average.
Smith scored his 7000th Test run in his 126th Test innings when he took a single off Muhammad Musa in the Adelaide Test against Pakistan in 2019. By doing so he became the first batsman to score 7000 runs at an average greater than 60. He also became the fastest to reach the milestone shattering a 73-year-old record.
Till date, Smith has scored 7540 Test runs in 77 matches and still averages around 62, which is lower than only the great Don Bradman. As a batsman’s career progresses, his average declines but Smith’s average is unbelievable. Thus, it seems that one might be able to achieve such a milestone.
