Test cricket is the highest level of the game and the ultimate measure of a player’s ability and stamina. Hence, it is commonly accepted that the best indicator of a player’s ability is based on how well they perform in Test matches. As a result, in cricket circles, players who do well in the longest format are highly regarded.

In the longest format, bowlers view taking five or ten wickets as a tremendous accomplishment that represents mastery of their art. Likewise, a century in a Test match means a great deal to batters. Legendary players like Virender Sehwag, Adam Gilchrist, David Warner, and Brendon McCullum have shown that reaching a Test hundred rapidly need not require using a lot of deliveries, proving that there is an unmistakable appeal to reaching this milestone quickly.

Let’s look at the top 4 fastest Test hundreds by a visiting batter in India.
