6 batsmen who have scored the most Test runs between dismissals

#2 Sachin Tendulkar - 497 runs

Sachin Tendulkar hit a then career-best of 241* at Sydney in 2004

241*, 60*, 194* and 2: January - April 2004

In the first six innings on the tour of Australia in 2003-04, Sachin Tendulkar had a total of 82 runs to his name, including two scores of nought. But the little master finally hit form – and how – in the final Test at Sydney by hitting his third Test double ton. A then career-best of 241* gave India early momentum in the series decider, and a second innings knock of 60* set Australia the challenge of batting deep so as to not lose the match and concede the series.

That match – and eventually the series – was drawn, but in India's next Test – at Multan two months later – he remained stranded on 194. Rather, Rahul Dravid made that famous declaration for which he supposedly “could have been a millionare had I charged a penny each time for answering why I did so”. In the next match though, he fell for 2 at Lahore and ended a string of big scores, thus culminating into 497 runs at a stretch.
