Test cricket has a long history attached to it. Numerous masters of the game took centre stage in different eras and managed to imbibe their names into the history books forever.

Australia’s most successful captain and one of the most prolific batsmen of the modern era, Ricky Ponting, completed this feat in 156 innings.

He led a ruthless Aussie side to the pinnacle of the game for a long time. He himself led right from the front and was never shy to give the opposition a piece of his mind.

He made 41 Test hundreds in his career which is the third highest of all time. He scored a massive 13,378 Test runs in his prosperous career.
