#1 Sir Donald Bradman (961)
There is no surprise that Sir Donald Bradman, the world's greatest Test batsman, occupies the top spot on this iconic list.
Led by Lala Amarnath, India toured Australia in 1947/48 and the visitors were handed a 4-0 defeat in the five-match Test series.
Bradman amassed 715 runs in five Tests and completely outplayed the touring party.
On the basis of that series, Bradman still sits at the top of the ICC’s Test player rankings system.
Interestingly, in 1949, Bradman became the first Australian cricketer to receive a knighthood.
