In the 200 Test matches that Tendulkar played for India, he scored an astounding 15921 runs. He leads the second-placed Ricky Ponting by a colossal 2543 runs.

Among active players, Hashim Amla has scored 9119 runs, and he is already 35 years of age and he has almost zero chance of going past Tendulkar. The only man who had any realistic chance of going past Tendulkar was Alastair Cook, but even he retired last year from Tests.

And, as for batting sensation Virat Kohli, the current Indian Captain has scored only 6613 runs. Given that he is already over 30 years of age, it will be almost impossible for Kohli to score the 9309 runs that he requires to go past the Indian cricketing legend.
