5 most genuine Test-only players of all time

Alastair Cook

He just needs 36 runs more to become the youngest cricketer ever to reach 10000 runs in Test—breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record that stood for around 12 years.

The Englishman made his debut against Sachin’s India—in a game where he scored a century in the second innings. That innings was a sign of things to come and he has never looked back since then. Right now, he is one of the leaders of the team, someone who everyone looks up to while he is on the crease.

In 226 innings, he has 9964 runs with an average of 46.56 while scoring 28 centuries in the process. He still has a lot of years ahead of him and will definitely go down as a legend even before he hangs up his boots.
