- Sachin Tendulkar – 3630 runs:
Another elite batting list and once again, it is that very man, Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar topping the charts by a mile. Tendulkar wasn’t just a batsman, but a source of hope and inspiration for a billion souls as when he went about scoring runs, something extraordinary was witnessed each time. In his career spanning 200 tests, Tendulkar played 39 of those games against Australia, where he scored 3630 runs at an average of 55 with 11 centuries. While several batsmen consider scoring 11 Test centuries as a great feat, Tendulkar managed to do so against the very best bowling attack of the generation. He was India’s go to man in every situation against Australia, as squaring up against the best brought out the greatness within him.
