There are many well-known Test centuries made by players that most of us have heard of. Many of us know about Brian Lara’s 400 runs or Matthew Hayden’s 380 runs. Every die-hard cricket fan has an idea about Sachin Tendulkar’s first century in Tests or Sanath Jayasuriya’s triple hundred against India in Tests.

But do you know the highest score made by a player at each age starting from 14 to 52 in Tests? You might have all read, who holds the records for the respective ages in ODIs, but you may not know the same for Tests.

Even if you are cricket fanatic, some of the record holders, will certainly surprise you. While some legends like Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara are on this list, there are some you would least suspect of holding the record.
