Jack The Run Machine Hobbs –The former England batsmen Sir Jack Hobbs was a true gem of the game during his playing days. He holds a distinguished record which may be never be broken in cricket. The English batsman scored 61760 runs in first-class cricket. Yes, you read that correct. In the current era no other player seems any close to this record and for sure no other batsman will be close to his record unless he plays cricket for 30-35 years.
