Top 10 run-getters in Ranji Trophy

#9 Sitanshu Kotak

Kotak's career spanned almost 20 years

The Saurashtra opener was another batsman who played for almost 20 years and in the process, added 7607 runs. The left-hander even played County cricket for Warwickshire.

The proof of his consistency is the fact that he scored three half-centuries in his last five Ranji innings. In first-class cricket, he played 130 matches and scored 8061 runs, whilst picking 70 wickets as well. He coached the Saurashtra team as well but didn't play at the international level.

#8 Pankaj Dharmani

All in all, Dharmani scored 9312 in 147 first-class matches

A prolific run-scorer for Punjab, the right-handed batsman scored 7621 runs in Ranji Trophy over a course of 18 years. In the 1999-00 season, with the help of a triple hundred and a double hundred each, the wicketkeeper scored 830 runs.

On the back of consistent domestic performances, Dharmani was picked to play for India in 1996. Against South Africa, he only managed eight runs and wasn't considered in the starting XI despite making it to the squad after that.

All in all, Dharmani scored 9312 in 147 first-class matches. He also played in the IPL for Kings XI Punjab in 2008.
