It is incredible that Test cricket still stands relevant and is probably the favourite format of most sports lovers. In the modern world, where things move fast and have become shorter and crispier, the possibility of a draw, even after five days of a game, is still exhilarating.
The balance the longest format provides to both batters and bowlers is a key element of Test cricket – the batters face the toughest of conditions and the bowlers are left with no option but to knock out every opposition batter, not once but twice.
Having said that, making a 400+ score in Test cricket can be crucial for any team to pose a defying challenge for the opposition.
This article will list the top ten international cricket teams who have scored the most 400+ team totals in Test cricket.
