Ranking Top 10 current Test batsmen irrespective of ICC Rankings
Test cricket is into an interesting phase in the last couple of years.
7. Faf du Plessis
Francois du Plessis is known for his composure in trying situation. Faf remained under the shadow of his school mate AB De Villiers but the Pretoria born has carved his way as a formidable batsman in international cricket. Faf exhibited his character in his debut Test match. His drudgery knock of 110 in 376 balls in Adelaide against Australia saved the test match for the Proteas.
The 35-year-old is in good form in recent times. He has notched up 3 centuries and 6 half-centuries in his last 15 tests. Considering the challenging pitches in South Africa, these numbers are of large value to an AB de less middle order. He is the kingpin of the South African team.
Faf hit his purple patch in 2016 and 2017 where he scored at an average of 56 and 54, respectively. His solid technique has made him a nemesis for the Aussie bowlers. He has 3 hundreds and 4 fifties and scores at an average of 46. In Australia, the South African skipper averages a gigantic 83!
