The best batter in the side bats at number 4 in Tests. Steve Smith for Australia, Virat Kohli for India. Sachin Tendulkar batted at the same spot for years and Jacques Kallis too. In the following slides, take a look at the list of batters, from number 5 to number 1, of batters who have scored the most tons batting at this spot.

West Indian batting maestro Brian Lara is on number 5 in the list with a total of 24 tons while batting at No 4 in Test cricket. 

An absolute beast at No 4 in Test cricket, Virat Kohli had to wait long for his first Test ton overseas. He had not scored one in five years. But he will be happy to know that he has also scored his 25th Test ton batting at number 4, going past Lara's record. 

Sri Lanka's legendary batter Mahela Jayawardena made tons of runs batting at number 4 for Sri Lanka, including a total of 30 centuries. Jayawardena retired as one of the greatest batters Lanka has ever produced.

Jacques Kallis has scored 35 centuries batting at the number 4 spot in Test cricket, which is the second-most in the list. 

India's greatest batter Sachin Tendulkar loved batting at number position for India in Tests. He slammed 44 out of his 100 tons batting at No 4 in Tests. No one has scored more hundreds than Tendulkar even at this position.
