I was reading about some incredible cricket records and got curious about the highest number of runs scored by a player in a single Test match. I came across Graham Gooch, who put up a massive total, but I’d love to know more details and if there are other close performances. What makes such a record so special in the longest format of the game? Looking forward to hearing your insights and favorite record-breaking innings!
What is the record for the most runs in a Test match, and which player achieved it in Test cricket?

The record for the most runs in a single Test innings stands at an impressive 400*, a feat accomplished by Brian Lara back in 2004. He set this remarkable record while facing off against England, demonstrating not just skill but also incredible focus and stamina. To this day, it remains the highest individual score in the history of Test cricket.

"Hey guys, I think you'll find the answer is Brian Lara, mate. He scored an incredible 400 not out for the West Indies against England in 2003. It's still the highest individual score in Test cricket history. Lara's a cricket legend and his innings that day will always be remembered."

Graham Gooch holds the record for the most runs scored in a single Test match. He scored a total of 456 runs against India national cricket team in 1990, including 333 runs in the first innings and 123 in the second innings. This remarkable achievement remains one of the greatest batting records in Test cricket history and highlights Gooch’s incredible concentration, skill, and endurance over a long match.
