Top Run-Scorers in Tests involving India and Bangladesh
When it comes to cricketing rivalries in the subcontinent, India and Bangladesh have become one of the most anticipated and looked forward games.
1. Sachin Tendulkar (820 runs)
The legendary Indian batter, Sachin Tendulkar, dominates the run-scoring chart in square-offs between India and Bangladesh in Test cricket. In just nine innings, Tendulkar has smashed 820 runs at an exceptional average of 136.66. The veteran cricketer's record includes five centuries against Bangladesh, part of his total 51 Test hundreds.
The Mumbai-born's career-best Test score of 248* came against Bangladesh in Dhaka, in December 2004, a knock that is still his highest score in red-ball cricket. This marathon inning lasted 552 minutes and featured 35 boundaries. It also equalled Sunil Gavaskar's record of 34 Test centuries. During this match, Tendulkar formed a record 133-run stand for the 10th wicket with Zaheer Khan. His batting average of 136.67 against the Bengal Tigers stands as his best against any Test-playing nation.
