Yes, I am completely agree with your point and even I considered this and marked Pareto Chart as my answer.

Hope the supporting staff will look into it soon.

"Relative comparision of SHARE of runs" Share is calculated from pie charts.

Relative comparison doesn't make sense here. I asked a query related to this in one of the live sessions and I was told to consider runs scored by a player in both the series together. So we can plot 3 categories in the x-axis and a pareto chart is obvious to have a comparison between the 3 players.

I think a pie chart in this case is not suitable because 'comparison as a part of a whole' is not exactly correct because the whole, here, is only the runs scored by 3 batsmen only and not the entire team. And I haven't seen such comparison of runs between 3 batsmen anywhere.

If the answer should definitely be a pie chart, then the "whole" should be the runs scored by the entire team. Then we can say, like, "Tendulkar scored x% of the total runs for India in both the series combined". This would make sense rather than comparing as a whole between only 3 batsmen.
