Top 5: Most runs overseas in Tests

South Africa v England - First Test: Day Five

#1: Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar - 8705 runs

South Africa v India 3rd Test - Day 3
Sachin Tendulkar

The most complete batsman of his time, most prolific run scorer of all time, and arguably the greatest icon the game has ever seen. Considered the 'God of Cricket', Sachin arguably has the greatest fan following all around the world.

Tendulkar had no apparent weakness in his game and scored all around the wicket, of both the front and the back foot. He dominated the best bowlers the world has seen in all conditions, and holds almost every batting record to his name.

These include most runs and hundreds in Tests and ODIs, and most international runs. He was the first and only batsman till date to touch the 15000 runs milestone in tests.

Matches: 106 | Innings: 176 | Runs: 8705 | Average: 54.74 | Hundreds: 29 | Fifties: 36
