Though the top spot looks a bit far-fetched, he could well become the second highest run scorer in the competition's history if he scores around 400 runs this term.
Unfortunately, he never played for the Indian team.

Amol Muzumdar scored 9202 runs in India's premier first-class competition
Muzumdar is probably one of the most unlucky players in the history of the sport. Having scored 9202 runs in India's premier first-class competition in 136 appearances, the Mumbai batsman couldn't make it to the national team.

Making his debut in 1993/94 against Haryana in Faridabad, Muzumdar played his way to a 260-run knock, a world record for the highest score on first-class debut. Apparently, he was the batsman due to come in next when Tendulkar and Kambli together added 664 runs in a Harris Shield match.
He featured in his last Ranji match in 2013, for Andhra.
