A batsman who can play well against fast bowling , will find scoring runs easy against the fast bowler and perhaps may not get out against the fast bowling. Even if he gets out, it will be after making a huge score against the fast bowlers.
Name the Indian batsman who has scored the overall highest runs against fast bowlers faced in his whole test-match career.
The batsman must have batted in minimum 60 innings or 30 test matches including Indian and non-Indian pitches.

I find following batsmen who have a tremendous record:
Besides Tendulkar:
1. Sunil Gavaskar
2. VVS Laxman
3. GR Vishvanath
4. Rahul Dravid
5. Yuvraj Singh
these players are very good players of fast bowling. Having good/solid/sound technique. I have a word of praise for Laxman and Yuvraj. But I find them not so good against spin. Against spin and fast bowling, the other players are very good.
The order of writing does not mean that that is in descending order. They are equally sound good players.

It's not easy to exactly calculate the exact runs scored by a batsman against a fast bowler. For instance - what was Sobers - a fast bowler, a medium pacer or a spinner?
In any case, the three names that pop up are below: each one very well technically adept to play real pace. There should be many more from yesteryears - specially when wickets were uncovered. Old-timers should tell you more about them.
#1. Mohinder Amarnath. He had a terrible series against the Windies in India in 1983 just as he recovered from a severe viral illness. But still he remains on the top of my list for sheer grit.
#2. Sunny Gavaskar. Tonnes of runs against the West Indies pace battery - specially when they were the all time greatest fast bowlers. Can't ignore his technique, attitude or runs.
#3. Rahul Dravid. Solid technique. Has got runs all around the world. Maybe he hasn't the flair of a Lara or Tendulkar, but against pacers, he is among India's all time bests. It is important to know that he has scored his runs, specially when opposition bowlers can watch unlimited videos of his technique to pick up the slightest of flaws. His best is yet to come.

In addition to the comments above: The English gave us the balmy army. Pisstaking as it should be done, funny, not malicious, and self depreciating at times. Great stuff. Shame this section can't adopt a similar approach. The Australians gave us four and twenty meat pies in the stands, beer cup snakes in the crowd from 3pm onwards, Richie Benau the world's best commentator and a never say die attitude. The Kiwis also show what never giving in means, and show how a small place can punch miles above its weight. The West Indies gave us one of the greatest teams ever to grace the game. They've also given us some of the most picturesque venues. South Africa. Newlands with table mountain in the background. Enough said. They keep everyone else on their toes. Sri Lanka - from zero to WC Heroes in a short space of time. They delivered a new strong competitor to the sport. India gave the game a steady supply of outstanding entertaining batsman. They have made cricket the second most followed sport after soccer. Pakistan gave us the biggest six and the fastest ball, plus a long pedigree of batsman, bowlers and the world's greatest ever all-rounder.

Hello....
Batsman is the back-bone of the cricket. The runs scored by them are crucial and defiantly the match winning one. The Proper batsman has to face both the spinner and as well as the fast bowlers. In the recent times, i think Rahul Dravid and V.V.S.Laxman are the two bast man who will test the patience of the fast bowlers. Both of them are capable of facing the fast bowlers, the technique these batsman adopted is amazing. I think pitches play an very big role in to-days cricket. The statistics of these batsman show, how much they are capable in the home and overseas pitches.

Without any doubt it's Sunil Gavaskar. In 1971 against West Indies he scored over 700 runs and that too in west Indies and what a battery of fast bowling the windies were having . He has faced greatest of the fast bowlers of the world like Thomson , Lillie, Roberts, Garner ,Croft,Holding,Marshall,Wasim Akram, Waqar and the great Imran khan, this is unending list and Sunny has scored a lot against them.Actually he played all the fast bowlers of his time and with excellence.The only bowler left was Kapil Dev whom he faced in his domestic cricket B'caz Kapil was his countryman.
