Players who have played the most innings at each batting position in Test cricket

#4 Sachin Tendulkar (India) - 275 innings

Tendulkar is the leading run-getter in Test cricket history

Another Indian, who is no stranger to records and landmarks, makes it to the list at Number 4. Standing head and shoulders above his nearest competitors is Sachin Tendulkar, who came into bat at the No 4 spot for India a record 275 times.

Though Tendulkar used to open the batting for India in ODIs, in Tests, he only batted as an opener once, scoring 15 runs. It was in the middle order that he found his rhythm, batting at number four for the majority of his career.

The leading run-scorer in Test cricket history with 15921 runs to his name, Tendulkar scored 13492 runs, including 44 hundreds at an average of 54.40, batting at the number four position for India in Tests.

His nearest competitor for the leading run-getter at the No 4 spot is Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardene who scored 9509 runs - nearly 4000 runs less than Tendulkar's tally batting at number 4.
