The player who has scored the most runs in this rivalry should not come as any surprise as it is none other than the God of Cricket Sachin Tendulkar who has managed to score runs even when the Pakistan team had one of the best and most dangerous pace attacks in the world. Tendulkar has played 69 matches and has scored 2526 runs at an average of 40.09 against the arch-rivals and still holds the record of the highest number of runs in India vs Pakistan matches scoring 16 half-centuries and five centuries.

Speaking of the highest wicket-taker it is the one and only Sultan of Swing Wasim Akram who has made even the top Indian batters struggle with his ability to swing the ball both ways with accuracy and sheer pace. Akram has taken 60 wickets in the 48 matches he has played against the Men in Blue at an average of 25.15 and also had an incredible economy of 3.73 against them. These two legends not only lead the charts in this rivalry but also in international cricket where Wasim is still the highest wicket-taker for Pakistan and Tendulkar is not only the leading run scorer for India but in international cricket as well.
