Top 10 Batsmen with Most Runs in the Ashes Series

Cricket, the gentleman’s sport, was created by the English. But over the years, the one country that has come to be the face of the sport is Australia. Every four years, the two countries lock horns in a Test tournament to regain the mythical ashes, which were the result of a satirical obituary by a British newspaper, after England was defeated by Australia in their first tour in England. The winning country is going to keep the urn, filled with the ashes, until the next tournament. The national cricket teams of the two countries thus give the best performances to defend their honor. Test matches give the opportunity to score big. Let us have a look at the Top 10 Batsmen with Most Runs in the Ashes Series.
