Hobbs 3636 vs Australia
Tendulkar 3630 vs Australia
Border 3548 vs England
Gower 3269 vs Australia
Sobers 3214 vs England

Interesting Bradman also holds the record for the fewest runs vs a single opponent.

He didn't score any runs against Bangladesh.

You need to be a great batsman with a pretty long career to enter such lists, and if you lack those credentials than it might actually be illustrative of the batsman raising their game against that opponent or being comfortable against that kind of bowling/conditions etc.

It's probably less useful than average with a match cut-off but it's not meaningless per se.
