Quiz! Name the batters with the most Test runs at No.3

In this quiz, you have to name Test cricket’s greatest run-makers at the No.3 position.

Some of the biggest names of the game have occupied the one-down position in red-ball cricket with varying degrees of success. The role itself is a tricky one – an early wicket requires you to essentially assume the opener’s role against the new ball, while a big opening partnership could make you sit with your batting pads strapped on for hours.

The cutoff has been kept at 2,500 runs – a total of 30 batsmen have managed to do so – with only two of them scoring over 10,000 runs at that position. The span denotes the time period when the batsmen played at No.3.
