Career AVGs of active players with 10K+ INTL runs (Runs in Innings)

Kohli - 56.15 (21,901 in 460)
Smith - 51.15 (12,070 in 272)
Root - 48.36 (14,414 in 336)
Kane - 46.47 (14,314 in 342)
Rohit - 44.38 (14,029 in 370)

Overall, Kohli stands out above the rest.

But in last 6 years, Smith's almost at par with Kohli across formats. Yes he's behind in ODI's, but significantly makes up for it in Tests.

Even Overall, he's the 2nd best across formats, ahead of Kane & others.

No. of innings batted below no.6

Root - 3
Kane - 5
Kohli - 5
Smith - 33

Still he's averaging 51.15 across formats, only behind Kohli & ahead of everyone else.

These are straightforward figures, still many do overlook it. Unreal HATE is the word :)
