Virender Sehwag 13-1

Lala Amarnath
Test: 24 matches @ 24.38, 1 centuries, 4 fifties, HS: 118
FC: 186 matches @ 41.37, 31 centuries, 39 fifties, HS: 262

vs.


Vijay Merchant
Test: 10 matches @ 47.72, 3 centuries, 3 fifties, HS: 154
FC: 150 matches @ 71.64, 45 centuries, 52 fifties, HS: 359*

NOTE: For Pre-WWII players in the subcontinent, I think we should also list FC records, as they did not play as many tests. Is everyone OK with this? If not, I can go back to just listing tests.
