Top 10 Highest Test Run Scorers (vs Pakistan in Pakistan)


Recommended Posts

:two_thumbs_up:  Nice list.

Sehwag, with 732 runs from only 6 matches, is the most entertaining performer in that list for me.

Gavaskar, however, scored those runs in the age of local umpires ...and Pakistani umpires at home, in the '70s and "80s, were far more lethal than their bowlers

Thank you:) Sehwag is my favorite too; also like Jayasuriya.

You raised a very important point in a very humorous way
:smile:. Indeed, it was very tough to beat Pakistan/score runs against them in those days since they not only had a good bowling attack, but also had the backing of their umpires. Therefore, Sunny's effort is quite remarkable.

@Gunner, Thanks for the appreciation!

Sehwag indeed owned Pakistan in their own backyard, averaging a Bradman-esqe 92 against them in Pakistan which includes the mammoth Triple Century in Multan.

True, he was merciless to them. The 254 at Lahore & the century at Karachi were other notable knocks that he played in Pakistan.
