There are no prizes for guessing the most prolific run scorer at the number four position. The great man from India, who owns a majority of the all time batting records, stands head and shoulders above all other batsmen to have batted at this vital position in the batting order.

With 13,492 runs @ 54.40 across 275 innings, Tendulkar has scored more runs at a single position than any other batsman has ever scored in an entire career. Next on the list is Mahela Jayawardene who has to his name 9509 runs in 195 innings and at an average of 52.25.

The batting genius Sachin also scored 44 of his 51 centuries at his favourite position. Jacques Kallis, who is third in line after Sachin and Mahela, scored 45 centuries in his entire career, 35 of which came at number four.
