Test cricket is without doubt the most rigorous form of the sport. Both batters and bowlers need high levels of patience and calmness to get results out of the format.
A Test match is played over five days. Hence, it does not take long for the game to change its course. A steady partnership between the batters over a session or two or a quick fall of wickets could change the fate of the game.
As it is, batting for all five days in a test match is an incredible feat. It requires monumental amounts of perseverance, patience, and hard work to stay on the pitch and not throw the wicket away.

Also, the batter is scoring runs in full flow and has played in a single inning for over two-three days. The player could also be in a weird situation to keep the opposition attack at bay and be a strong fort of defense, to have no option but slow down the tempo of the game, and defend everything that is thrown at him. Or it could also be because various weather conditions like rain delays or bad light.
The latest to join this list is Australia’s opening batsman Usman Khawaja who would have battted on all five days of the ongoing Ashes Test at Edgbaston.
