Test cricket is the most prestigious form of the game. The five-days format has a rich history, with the Ashes rivalry between Australia and England having the pole position in the list of competitions. Over the last few years, India has excelled a lot in Test cricket. After two debacles in overseas conditions, the Indian team came back on track after Virat Kohli took over the squad’s reins. 

India has improved its record by leaps and bounds in the red-ball arena. One of the main factors behind the turnaround has been the team’s consistency in both the departments. Speaking of consistency, the batsmen always try to contribute as many runs as they can in Test cricket. They target to score a minimum of fifty runs in an innings, and here are the top five batsmen with 50+ scores in the most consecutive Tests.
