Most Runs in Cricket Test
Cricket is one of the most watched and popular sports in the world. This centuries old game is loved in many countries and is played in many different forms. The One Day International (ODI) is the most popular cricket format today, while Twenty20 is considered the most interesting.
But test cricket is the traditional style of cricket and is still especially loved by fans, especially avid cricket lovers.
Test cricket is somewhat slow but allows players to maximize their skill set. Boundaries and explosive play are rare in test cricket and players focus more on playing with technique and caution. However, what is unique about testing cricket is the high total score for both individual players and teams.
Teams passed 600 runs while hitting the ball, and players registered not double but triple and quadruple centuries. Some hitters have thousands of runs to their name. Sachin Tendulkar of India is one of them.
Today we take a look at the top runners in test cricket.
