In this quiz, name the batters with the most runs in Test matches between India and England since 1990.
An Englishman holds the record for the most runs (2,846 at 58.08) in India-England Tests since 1990. Since his Test debut in 2012/13 – during England’s historic series win in India – he has scored 12,913 runs at 50.63, the most by any batter in this period. Now 34, he finished the 2023-2025 World Test Championship as the highest run-scorer and sits favourite to break the all-time Test record of 15,921 runs, held by an Indian legend who ranks second on the list of highest run-getters in India-England Tests since 1990. His 2,535 runs at 51.73 have come between 1990–2012.

As captain, India’s most successful Test skipper scored the most runs (1,638 at 56.48) in the Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy (formerly the Pataudi Trophy) in the mentioned time span. He ranks fourth overall with 1,991 runs at 42.36. His numbers declined after stepping down from captaincy, coinciding with a prolonged Test slump that ultimately led to his recent retirement.
Overall, 39 players have scored at least 500 runs in India-England Tests since 1990. This number reduces to 14 when the cutoff is raised to 1,000 runs, and just three players surpass 2,000 runs.
