Indian Cricket Team: Test cricket is a format where batsmen get full time. There is no need to rush to make runs here. There is a possibility that the batsmen will spend time at the crease and score huge runs comfortably. However, even in Test cricket there are many batsmen who hit very fast runs and hit fours and sixes.
