6. The unlucky Indian cricketer who was prevented to surpass Don Bradman's first-class score
Bhausaheb Nimbalkar is the man who is extremely popular for the highest ever score in Ranji Trophy. He is the only cricketer to have got to a quadruple hundred in the domestic tournament and scored an unbeaten 443 runs in the 1948-49 season. This is also the highest score for any cricketer who hasn't played any Test cricket.

At that time, he was only second to Sir Don Bradman who scored 452* and currently, it is the fourth-highest all-time. Nimbalkar's team scored 826/4 at the lunch interval and he was all set to break the record of Don. But, the opposition captain, the Thakore Saheb of Rajkot, conceded the match to prevent embarrassment on the part of his team.
Sir Don Bradman, later, wrote a letter to Bhausaheb Nimbalkar saying that the innings was better than his own innings.
