Ross Taylor has incredible numbers in both ODIs and Tests. However, his name never is discussed when you talk about best batsmen in the current era. Yes, he is the unsung hero of the current generation.
He has more hundreds than any New Zealander in ODIs (20), and he is second on the list of hundreds in Tests for a Kiwi batsman with 18.
He has made the No.4 position his own in both formats. In ODIs, he is the highest run-getter at No.4, with 7,109 runs at 52.66. And in Tests, he is the eighth-highest run-getter at that position, with 6,166 runs at 49.73.
