His best score is 248*. He holds numerous records in the sport, including most runs in Tests, ODIs and international cricket as a whole.

He scored 8,540 runs in 121 Tests at an average of 50.23, with 24 tons and 45 fifties. He also scored 6,721 runs in 187 ODIs at an average of 47.00, with 11 tons and 45 fifties.
