{'cricket test match innings': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'sachin tendulkar': [0, 0, 6, 4], 'sunil gavaskar': [0, 0, 3, 5], 'highest score': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'cricketers': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'virendar sehwag': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'indian': [1, 1, 5, 4], 'vinoo mankad': [0, 0, 1, 1]}

Option 1: Sunil Gavaskar is a renowned ex-cricketer, but his highest score in test match innings (236 not out) is not the highest by an Indian.

Option 2: Vinoo Mankad, another famous former Indian cricketer, also doesn`t hold the record for the highest score in test match innings by an Indian.

Option 3: Sachin Tendulkar, known as "Master Blaster", has an impressive record in cricket but his highest test innings score (248 not out) also falls short.

Option 4: Virender Sehwag holds the record for the maximum score in a test match innings by an Indian. He scored 319 runs against South Africa at Chennai in 2008. Hence, the correct answer is Virender Sehwag.

In a nutshell, while all these cricketers have made significant contributions to Indian cricket, it`s Virender Sehwag who holds the specific record in question.
