Players who were the fastest to 1,000 runs across formats in international cricket

#3 Sir Don Bradman

Sir Don Bradman's 334 against England took him to one thousand runs in the longest format

13 innings in Tests, 1930

The great Sir Don Bradman piled up 6,996 runs in just 52 Tests. But that was not his only feat: an average of 99.94 and 29 centuries to go with 13 half-centuries. But that also included another feat, that of taking as few as 13 innings to get to 1,000 Test runs.

During the Ashes Test against England at Leeds in 1930, Australia batted first and piled up 566. More than half of the runs came from Bradman's bat – he got 334 when the next highest score was 50 – as he stitched 192 for the second wicket and 229 for the third wicket with captain Bill Woodfull and Alan Kippax, respectively.
