NEW DELHI: Indian batting genius Sachin Tendulkar has not been included in the list of top-20 greatest batsmen of all times in Test cricket ratings released by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday.



The list, that is topped by the great late Sir Donald Bradman, has the likes of Len Hutton and Jack Hobbs and West Indian legends Clive Walcott, Viv Richards and Garry Sobers and also includes Tendulkar's contemporaries like Ricky Ponting, Kumar Sangakkara, Matthew Hayden, Jacques Kallis, Mohammad Yousuf and Michael Hussey.



The only Indian in the list is former batting great Sunil Gavaskar and he is at the bottom of the table.



The list is based on the highest Test ratings batsmen have achieved during their careers and only 25 batsmen in the history of the game have amassed 900 rating points or more in Test cricket. (TOI Photo)
