Test Batting Rankings: Celebrating the Best Test Batsmen in International Cricket

Test cricket tournaments are played for five days straight between two teams; there will be two innings and the main purpose is to score maximum runs. Unlike other series like T20 games & One Day International format, there are no limitations for innings. Once any team's ten-wicket gets down, eventually the second innings start thereafter. If any captain feels that their team made an unbeatable score they can wrap up their innings straightway. 

 Test series is one of the popular international cricket formats where players get a chance to prove their gaming skills. ICC or International Cricket Rankings release the list of players as per their test batting rankings.
