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

5. Kapil Dev – 161.81

Kapil Dev once again makes it into the list. This time, the opposition was England and the venue was the ‘Mecca of cricket’ Lord’s. In 1982, Kapil, in the second innings of the Test hit 89 from only 55 balls at a strike rate of 161.81. According to a story, Kapil was on a verge of hitting the fastest century on that day but missed on the record. Test centuries was not recorded in terms of deliveries as well as minutes previously, and it was considered Roy Fredericks’ ton off 71 balls at Perth in 1975-76 was the fastest until research discovered that Jack Gregory’s at Johannesburg in 1921-22 came from 67 balls.
