Despite playing an innings of 240+, sometimes he lagged behind his partner and sometimes behind his opponent, two batsmen with better average than Sachin are included

Although the record of scoring the most runs without being the top scorer of a Test innings is in the name of Sri Lanka's dashing wicketkeeper batsman Kumar Sangakkara who played an innings of 287 runs against South Africa in 2006, but in terms of top score, fellow batsman Mahela Jayawardene surpassed 'Sanga'. In the match, Jayawardene made the fourth highest score (374 runs) in Test cricket. Let us tell you, the Test average of both Bradman and Sangakkara is better than legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Ponting, Lara, Kallis and Smith.

Top 4 batsmen who despite making huge scores could not become the top scorers of that innings.

Sangakkara remained behind Jayawardene even after scoring 287 runs
Kumar Sangakkara was considered one of the best batsmen of Sri Lanka. 'Sanga' scored 12400 runs (highest 319 runs) in 134 test matches at an average of 57.40. The biggest partnership in test cricket till date – 624 runs, is recorded in the name of the Sri Lankan pair of Jayawardene and Sangakkara. Both of them made this partnership for the third wicket in the Colombo Test against South Africa in July 2006, when Sri Lanka lost its first two wickets cheaply. In Sri Lanka's first innings, captain Jayawardene scored 374 runs with the help of 43 fours in 572 balls and Sangakkara scored 287 runs with the help of 35 fours in 457 balls. Despite scoring more than 280 runs in the match, Sangakkara was left behind Jayawardene's score of 374 runs by a huge margin. Thanks to the marathon partnership between these two batsmen and Muralitharan's bowling (10 wickets in the match), Sri Lanka won this Test by an innings margin.

Hunt was defeated by Sobers in the historic Kingston Test

Brian Lara of West Indies surpassed Sobers' score in 1994 and 2004, Matthew Hayden of Australia in 2003 and Sri Lanka's Jayawardene in 2006.
