In the year 2006, Muhammad Yusuf, a Pakistani batsman, broke the record for the highest aggregate runs in test cricket in a calendar year. The record was previously held by Vivian Richards, a legendary West Indian batsman. This means that Muhammad Yusuf scored more runs in a single year than anyone else in the history of test cricket.

Let`s dissect the other options to better understand why they are not the correct answer:

Option 1: Don Bradman, often considered the greatest batsman of all time, does not hold the record for the highest aggregate runs in a calendar year.

Option 2: Sachin Tendulkar, another legendary batsman from India, also does not hold this record.

Option 3: Barry Richards, a South African cricketer known for his impressive batting skills, is not the holder of this record either.

Therefore, the correct answer, as stated in the question, is option 4: Vivian Richards.
