Correct answer: D
To determine who scored the 2nd highest total runs in the series, we must first calculate the total runs scored by each of the seven cricketers.
Calculation of Total Runs
Robin Uthappa: 35 + 43 + 76 + 14 = 168
Rohit Sharma: 12 + 58 + 32 + 41 = 143
Virat Kohli: 56 + 38 + 89 + 71 = 254
M.S. Dhoni: 21 + 23 + 48 + 57 = 149
Suresh Raina: 66 + 29 + 56 + 15 = 166
Yuvraj Singh: 36 + 72 + 20 + 55 = 183
Ravindra Jadeja: 29 + 29 + 42 + 46 = 146
Ranking the Cricketers
Now, let's rank them from highest total to lowest:
Virat Kohli: 254
Yuvraj Singh: 183
Robin Uthappa: 168
Suresh Raina: 166
M.S. Dhoni: 149
