Consecutive Test innings of 150+ for David Warner … rumours of his demise perhaps a little premature 🏏

Top 5 run-getters in Test cricket (2019)
Three surprises. I, 3 and the absence of Kohli.
1. 779* – Marnus Labuschange (AUS)
2. 778 – Steve Smith (AUS)
3. 754- Mayank Agarwal (IND)
4. 746 – Ben Stokes (ENG)
5. 642 – Ajinkya Rahane (IND)— Rajaneesh (@vilakudy)
Yasir Shah can possibly take Steve Smith’s wicket for the eighth time. But it can’t happen unless P𒅌akistan get past either Warner or Labuschange. So far this has looked unlikely
