7 great batsmen who never topped the ICC Test rankings chart

#1 GEORGE HEADLEY: WEST INDIES

Headley has the highest rating points for a batsman to have never been ranked No. 1: 915

HIGHEST RATING: 915 (January 25, 1948)

HIGHEST RANKING: 2 (January 28, 1935)

George Headley was nicknamed the 'Black Bradman' for his spectacular feats on a cricket field. Fittingly, it was Bradman who denied him the top spot during the course of his career.

Headley's career spanned over two decades. He played 24 Tests in his career, scoring 2190 runs at an average of 60.83.

His peak rating came after a Test against England in 1948. Headley had 915 points after the Test which was good enough to get him the 2nd spot behind Bradman who led the chart with 957 points.
