In a Test match, every team has its own playing eleven. But, here we will talk about a unique playing eleven, which does not have 11 players from any one country, rather it is prepared by combining the players who have played the biggest innings in Tests, from opening to 11th position. This means that this playing eleven has been prepared by arranging the players according to which batting order has played the biggest innings.
Let's take a look at what the playing XI would look like based on playing the biggest innings in Test cricket.
England's Leonard Hutton will be the first opener to play a big Test innings of 384 runs. Australia's Matthew Hayden, who played a Test innings of 380 runs, will be the second opener of the team.
The number 3 position in the playing eleven of the players who have played the biggest innings in Test cricket is of Brian Lara, who played an unbeaten innings of 400 runs against England in the year 2004. Lara's innings is not only the biggest innings in this batting order but also the biggest innings from the bat of any batsman in Tests.
Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardene is the number 4 player and Australia's Michael Clarke is the number 5 player. Jayawardene has scored 374 runs and Clarke has scored an unbeaten 329 runs.
The player who has played the biggest innings at number 6 in Test cricket is England's all-rounder Ben Stokes. He has played an innings of 258 runs. Apart from Stokes, the record of playing the biggest innings of 270 runs at number 7 is in the name of Australia's Sir Don Bradman.
In Test cricket, the lower order starts from number 8. The record of playing a big innings at number 8 is in the name of Pakistan's Wasim Akram, who scored an unbeaten 256 runs.
Apart from him, New Zealand's Ian Smith is at number 9, who has played the biggest innings in Test cricket. He scored 173 runs. The player at number 10 in this case is England's Walter Reed, who scored 117 runs. While the 11th position is of Ashton Agar who scored 98 runs.
