Herbert Sutcliffe
Sutcliffe achieved the feat in just 12 innings back in 1925, when he got to the landmark during the Melbourne Test against Australia.
Sir Everton Weekes
Weekes is the joint-fastest batter to 1,000 Test runs, getting to the landmark in just his 12th innings in 1949.
Don Bradman
Yet another record held by Bradman, who is Australia’s fastest batter to 1,000 runs in only 13 innings.
Neil Harvey
Another Australian on the list, Neil Harvey reached the 1,000 runs landmark in just 14 innings.
Vinod Kambli
Kambli, one of the most promising talents, had a spectacular rise in international cricket but his downfall was quicker as he played only seven more innings after getting to 1,000 runs in his 14th.
