Sachin Tendulkar is often cited as the greatest batsman of all time for the sheer amount of runs he has amassed across formats.

In his 24 years career, he scored a total of 15921 runs in 200 test matches. It still remains at the top of the highest run-getters in the history of the game. The record seems to remain atop for several more years.
