In the year 2021, due to Corona and ICC T20 World Cup, Test cricket was played relatively less.
This year 44 Test matches were played in which the rule of bowlers was maintained and this year did not prove to be very good for the batsmen.
In 44 matches played, the opposing team lost 8 times by an innings and 6 times by a margin of more than 200 runs.
In these difficult circumstances, only 7 players could score a double century in Test cricket this year, but no player could score a triple century.
Among the players who scored a double century, only English captain Joe Root was the only batsman to do so twice.
The highest individual score in Test cricket this year was scored by Sri Lanka's Karuna Ratnayake. He played an innings of 244 against Bangladesh.
