Top 10 Batsmen with highest strike rate in an innings with minimum 50 balls faced in Tests

Test cricket is about patience and perseverance. It tests the character and ability of the batsman and not everyone stands up to the challenge and succeeds. Generally, batsmen opt to be conservative and not take any undue risk. They aim to build their innings brick by brick and score big. However, there are batsmen who don’t follow such norms. All they believe is in scoring runs at quick pace and shift the advantage and the momentum towards their teams. Here are the batsmen with highest strike rate in an innings with minimum 50 balls faced in Tests.

Kapil Dev was India’s best ever fast bowling all-rounder. Kapil’s strength was his bowling but he would also contribute valuable runs batting at the lower order. One such occasion came during the 2nd Test at Karachi in 1982 when Kapil, who came out to bat at No.7, smashed the Pakistan bowling attack comprising of the likes of Imran Khan and Sarfraz Khan to hit 73 runs off just 53 balls at a strike rate of 137.73.
