5. Pakistan
Known as the original little master, Hanif Mohammad holds the record of being Pakistan’s highest scorer in Tests when he scored 337 against West Indies in 1958. The knock, which is considered one of the greatest match-saving knocks of all time, lasted for a mammoth 970 minutes as he helped his team to draw the match against all the odds.
There is a famous story regarding this monumental innings. A West Indian was watching the match from atop a tree. However, he collapsed, and was rushed to the hospital, and when he regained consciousness, he asked: “Is Hanif still batting?” Unfortunately, the answer to that question was a yes, and he collapsed again!
