#3 Sachin Tendulkar (4,621 runs)
India worshipped Sachin Tendulkar. He symbolized hope, he was the epitome of dreams materialising into reality.
The Master Blaster, whose records continue to be a benchmark when it comes to judging the capabilities of a modern-day Test batsman, scored 4,621 runs in 147 five-dayers while batting for the second time, between 1989 and 2013.
The man, who played 200 Tests in his 24-year long career, scored 13 out of his 51 tons in the longest format of the game, in the third or fourth innings.
In a 2002 Test match against the West Indies in Kolkata, Tendulkar scored 176, his best while batting for the second time in a five-day game, in the fourth innings and saved the match for the hosts.
