Test Cricket is often called as the format which “truely” tests the character of a cricketer. It is the format where both batsmen and bowlers have to show not only their temperament & perseverance, but also physical & mental fitness to last 4-5 days. Today lets talk about Cricketers who have the highest individual scores in Test Cricket.

10. 335* (David Warner vs Pakistan)

Australian Firebrand Cricketer David Warner has scored quite a few centuries in his career. On November 29, 2019, Warner came out ready to carry his bat back against Pakistan. In the match he scored 335 not out off 418 balls with 39 fours and a six.

His innings took over 9 hours and when Australia declared, they had scored 589/3 from 127 overs. With this score he got himself into the list of top 10 Cricketers who have the highest individual scores in Test Cricket. Australia won the match by an innings & 48 runs.

9. 336* (Walter Hammond vs New Zealand)

English Cricketer Walter Hammond was one of their greatest in golden years of England Cricket. On April 1, 1933, Hammond scored 336 not out against New Zealand with 34 fours and 10 sixes. England was batting second after the Kiwi Team was bowled for a paltry 158 with Bill Bowes taking 6.

Hammond’s innings went little over 5 hours, but the team finished with very little time for the bowlers to get opposition out. It was thus a tame draw. Hammond, with this score, got himself into the list of top 10 Cricketers who have the highest individual scores in Test Cricket.

8. 337 (Hanif Mohammad vs West Indies)

Original Little Master as the fans would reckon him as, Hanif Mohammad was perhaps the best cricketer ever coming from Pakistan. On January 17, 1958, the Pakistan Legend would come out with a purpose to deny win to a formidable Windies lineup. He was opening the Pakistan’s second innings following on after being bowled out for a paltry 106 in the first innings against a Windies score of 579/9 declared.

The master batsman would dominate the pitch for over 16 hours saving the match for his team. His 337 included 24 fours. With this score he got himself into the list of top 10 Cricketers who have the highest individual scores in Test Cricket. Pakistan declared at 657/8. The match ended in a draw.

7. 340 (Sanath Jayasuriya vs India)

Sri Lankan Sanath Jayasuriya is among the premier sportspersons coming from their country. On August 2, 1997, Jayasuriya with an intent to undo the impact of high score India had in their innings batting first. He scored 340 off 578 balls with 36 fours & 2 sixes.

The batsman dominated the Indian bowlers for over 13 hours and Sri Lanka declared their innings at 952/6. The innings got Sanath into the list of Cricketers who have the highest individual scores in Test Cricket. The match ended in a draw. The team score is also the highest test team total ever.

6. 364 (Len Hutton vs Australia)

Yorkshire Cricketer Len Hutton was one of the greatest batsmen in the history of test cricket. On August 20, 1938, he came out with his career best to lead England to what would be their highest test score against Australia. Hutton scored 364 off 847 balls with 35 fours.

His innings would last little over 13 hours and England declared at 903/7. With this score he got himself into the list of top 10 Cricketers who have the highest individual scores in Test Cricket. Australia lost this match with an innings and 579 runs. This happens to be the highest margin test win as well.

5. 365* (Gary Sobers vs Pakistan)

West Indian Gary Sobers has been one of the legends of world cricket. On February 26, 1958, Sobers came to pitch at first fall off wicket after Pakistan were bowled out for 328. He scored 365 not out to take his team to a declarable score of 790/3. He hit 38 boundaries in his career best innings.

Sobers took little over 10 hours for this score and he could well be the first cricketer to score 400 as well.

Pakistan, in reply were bowled out for 288 handing Windies a win of an innings and 174 runs.

Jayawardene would score a 374 off 572 balls with 43 fours and a six and together with Kumar Sangakkara take Sri Lanka to 638, a 624 run partnership.

3. 375 (Brian Lara vs England)

West Indian Brian Charles Lara has defined and redefined the highest individual scored in the longest formats. On April 16, 1994, he would come into bat at the fall of first wicket against England. Lara would go on to score 375 off 538 with 45 fours taking the Windies innings to 593.

His, then career best, innings lasted over 12 hours and with this score he got himself into the list of Cricketers who have the highest individual scores in Test Cricket. Windies declared at 593/5, as soon as he was out. The match ended in a draw as England scored 593 in their first innings.

Hayden would go on to score 380 off 437 balls, with 38 fours & 11 sixes, redefining the highest individual scores in test cricket.

His innings lasted little over 10 hours and he was the last to get out in an Australian declaration at 735/6, With this score he got himself into the list of top 10 Cricketers who have the highest individual scores in Test Cricket. Zimbabwe would be bowled out twice handing Australia a win of an innings and 175 runs.

1. 400* (Brian Lara vs England)

Windies Legend Brian Lara’s World record highest individual score was already conquered after 9 years of free run. On April 10, 2004, almost 6 months away from when Hayden surpassed his world record, he would bat again to get the record under his name. Lara was in to bat after fall of first wicket and would go on to score an unbeaten 400 off 582 balls with 43 fours and 4 sixes.

His career best innings continued close to 13 hours and with this score he got himself again on the top of the list of top 10 Cricketers who have the highest individual scores in Test Cricket. Windies declared at 751/5 but couldn’t wrap the two England innings as the match ended in a draw.
