Is this feat achieved in :

A Test match ?
A Test series ?

Is it got to do with accumulation of Test runs ?

 

[SJS]

Is there a surprise or less well known name or are the three names from among what you could loosely call the "likely suspects" ie Gavaskar, Tendulkar, Dravid, Azharuddin, Ganguly, Laxman, Vengsarkar etc?

Thats a dodgy definition. I suggest you ask a more specific question.

[Lillian Thomson]

Is Vijay Manjrekar one of them?

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Vijay Hazare
Polly Umrigar
Vinoo Mankad

Most runs in 1952 - so presumably it's the only time three subcontinental players have topped the run-scoring lists in a calendar year.

(a slightly misleading list as India, in that year, played in 11 of 16 Test matches)

Absolutely correct.


Yes India played more cricket than any other nation that year.

Three Indians have topped the run getters for the year on six occasions in tests since then. Gavaskar (1971, 1978, 1979, 1983), Vengsarkar (1989) and Tendulkar (1999).

No Pakistani or Sri Lankan trio has ever occupied the top three spots in the same year.

It has , however, been done by West Indian batsmen twice, Australians five times and Englishmen 19 times !!
