Sir Garfield Sobers

Sir Garfield Sobers remains the greatest all-rounder in cricket history, posting a record 365 not out Test innings that stood for 36 years. Across formats, he amassed 8,032 runs and 235 wickets while averaging 57.78 in Tests—over 10 runs per innings more than #8 Jacques Kallis. That batting average ranks 15% higher than the typical top-order batsman of his era, cementing his legacy.
