Misbah scored 5122 Test runs without a single hundred in ODIs — showing insane consistency without big milestones.

The spin legend not only holds the record for most wickets but also for most ducks (59) across formats!

3. Most Catches by a Fielder in Tests – Joe Root (213)

England’s modern great Joe Root holds the record for most catches by a non-wicketkeeper in Test cricket (213).

4. Shortest Test Innings Ever: Sanath Jayasuriya (2 balls)

In 2007 vs Australia, Jayasuriya faced just two balls across both innings - out for 0 each time.

5. Longest Time Spent on 0 – Geoff Allott (77 Balls)

The New Zealand tailender once batted 77 balls without scoring a run, making it the longest duck ever.

6. Most Sixes in a Test Match – Wasim Akram (12)
