India's 5 highest run scorers of all time in Test Cricket

Somerset v India - Tour Match
The Master Blaster and The Wall.

#1. Sachin Tendulkar

England v India: 1st npower Test - Day Three
The Master Blaster.

Matches: 200, Innings: 329, Runs: 15,921.

24 Years. That's how long Sachin Tendulkar carried the burden of the dreams and aspirations of a billion Indian fans on his shoulders. Even the greatest of men would have crumbled under that pressure, but Sachin Tendulkar thrived.

Every time he came to the crease, you knew who the best batsman in the world was. He was a genius in every sense of the word. In India, they worship him as a 'God' and rightfully so.

India is lucky to have a batsman in the form of Virat Kohli who has managed to fill some of the void left by 'The Master Blaster'. But let's be honest, Sachin Tendulkar will never be replaced.

He scored a mind-blowing 15,921 runs in a career that spanned over 24 years! He is easily the greatest batsman of his generation and perhaps of all time.
