Test cricket is a format that tests the technique of a batsman at the utmost level and is often used as a parameter to judge the potential of a player. In modern times, there are many batsmen who have performed consistently in the longest format of the game. There have been debates on whether the conditions have become favourable for scoring but that can not be used to take the credit away from top skills displayed by batsmen in the current time.

In this article, we are going to list out 5 batsmen who can break the record of the fastest 10,000 runs in Test cricket. This record is jointly held by Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara. Both of them had completed their ten thousand runs in 195 innings.

Lara first achieved this milestone in the year 2004 in a match against England. Later on, Sachin achieved this feat in the year 2005 while playing against Pakistan.

Let’s look at 5 players who can surpass Lara and Tendulkar’s record in Test cricket:
