Top 10 Captains with most runs in Tests

7. Greg Chappell – 4209 runs:

Perhaps the best batsman of his time, Greg Chappell captained Australia in 48 matches and scored 4209 runs. He made his captaincy debut in 1975-76 West Indies series and began by scoring centuries in both innings, a feat only replicated by Virat Kohli in 2014.

Chappell’s highest score as captain was 235, which he made against Pakistan in Faisalabad in 1980. He retired in 1984 and like his debut, scored a century in his final Test, becoming the first ever batsman to score centuries both on his debut and in his last Test.
