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.
