CricTracker Fan Poll: Top 10 Test cricketers of the year 2017

2. Steve Smith – 19%

If there is anyone as good as Kohli in the contemporary market right now, it has to be Steve Smith. The Australian skipper is in a different stratosphere when it comes to the longest format and only 19% of the fans opting to vote for him makes us wonder why. Australia successfully regained the Urn by defeating the English in the third Test at the WACA and Smith’s double-ton was a perfect icing on the cake. He also registered astronomic rating points in the ICC Test rankings, which is driving many experts crazy.

1. Virat Kohli – 53%

It’s the Indian skipper Virat Kohli, who reigns supreme from the fans’ point of view. If these were to be election polls, Kohli can form a government on his own as he secured more than 50% of the votes. Hard to argue against that as well, because the Indian skipper registered a whopping three double tons and broke plenty of records en route to completing 5,000 runs in Tests. Already being touted as one of the game’s greatest ever cricketers, Kohli’s record-breaking year in the longest format came to an end with two consecutive double-tons, can’t get more perfect, can it?
