To give a little bit of perspective .... VVS who started his Test career much earlier than VS and who has played 50 inngs more than VS is just about 200+ runs ahead of VS. BTW when VS debuted in that Blomfontien match Boss crossed 7K runs. Today he was at the other end when VS crossed 7K His Strike Rate is now at 81.62 which is very very close to Gilchrist who has the highest SR of 81.96. He is now in the top 5 as far as batting avg is concerned for openers. He is also just 3K runs short of SMG who has scored the highest no.of runs as opener. Incredible. http://stats.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?batting_positionmax1=2;batting_positionval1=batting_position;class=1;filter=advanced;orderby=batting_average;qualmin1=1000;qualval1=runs;template=results;type=batting

another tidbit, He scored his 1000th boundary when he late cut Angelo Matthews. Thats more than 50% runs in boundary. I haven't counted sixes yet.

1005 fours and 79 sixes = 4494 runs in boundaries... that is approximately 64% in boundaries...

Top Post bb. Loved the one where you mentioned Sehwag made his debut in the test when tendlya scored his 7000th run.

[putrevus]

anyone has stat of who is highest run getter since sehwag debuted

[Ravi.]

Great achievement by Sehwag. I wonder why he is not consistent in ODI cricket.

[Precambrian]

Umar Akmal is the best since Tendulkar. :D

Remarkable, Great going Veeru. I think the next rung of 8000 runs is <=20 innings away. Hope he gets there as well.
