A batting list that doesn't feature Sachin Tendulkar's name!

Bengaluru, June 9: Have you ever come across a comprehensive list of batting records that doesn't include the names of Sachin Tendulkar? Unbelievable, isn't it? But yes, we have such a list existing. It features names of Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Kapil Dev Nikhanj, Ramakant Desai and Zaheer Khan but not Tendulkar. [See this list]

The list is about the highest individual scores scored for each wicket in Test cricket. Tendulkar, who had batted at No. 4 for most part of his career, had the highest score of 248 not out made against Bangladesh in Dhaka in 2004.

But that is not enough to make the top 12 individual scores made at No. 4 (271 scored by Pakistan's Javed Miandad is the lowest best in that list).

Tendulkar's highest Test score doesn't even feature in the top 85 highest individual scores in Test cricket.

Here is a list of Indian batsmen who feature in the list for highest individual scores for each wicket:
