List of top 5 highest individual scores in the icc world test championship.

5. Dimuth Karunaratne – 244 vs Bangladesh:

Be patient until you get settled at the crease, then trust yourself to catch up on the scoring rate later. This, essentially, is what Dimuth Karunaratne told himself as he made a start on the innings that produced his highest Test score.

Karunaratne’s 244 off 437 balls was the highest individual score by a Sri Lanka batter since 2014, and only their second double century in six years. It allowed the hosts to surpass Bangladesh’s 541 for 7 declared, and made safe their situation in the game.

4. Kane Williamson 251* versus West Indies

Kane Williamson’s 251 was the ninth highest score for New Zealand in Test matches. The second highest score by an New Zealand batsman against West Indies in Tests.
It was Kane Williamson’s fourth double-hundred of his Test career as he methodically dismantled the tourists’ threatening bowling attack. But the right-handed batsman hardly had any support from the other end, barring Tom Latham’s 86.
New Zealand 1st Innings scored 519-7 declared in 145 overs – with top scorer by Kane Williamson hammered a career-best 251 off 412-balls – which was his 3rd Test double-hundred and his first double-century against West Indies in Tests – including 34-fours & 2-sixes.

3. Virat Kohli – 254* vs South Africa:

Indian captain Virat Kohli scored a career-best unbeaten 254-runs knocked off facing 336-balls including 33-fours and 2-sixes helped to India set up the commanding total of 601-5 declared against South Africa in the 1st innings of the second Test match.

It was Kohli’s seventh double hundred in Test cricket as he led his team from the front in an important World Test Championship fixture.

Virat Kohli broke his own record of highest score by Indian captain when he reached the 246. His previous highest-score was 243 against Sri Lanka at Delhi in 2017-18. In fact, he now has the top-three highest scores by an Indian captain. Third highest-score is 235 against England at Mumbai in 2016-17.

2. Zak Crawley – 267 vs Pakistan:

The 22-year-old Crawley was the seventh England batsman to turn his maiden Test hundred into a double century and the first since Rob Key against the West Indies at Lord’s in 2004.

359  Zak Crawley and Jos Buttler set up the record for highest fifth-wicket partnership for England in Test matches and the joint fourth highest fifth-wicket stand in Tests.

1. David Warner 335* versus Pakistan

David Warner wrote history on the second day of the Day-Night Test match between Australia and Pakistan, as he went past former Australian greats Sir Don Bradman (334) and Mark Taylor (334*) in a marathon 335-run-innings. Warner became the first player to score a triple-century at the Adelaide Oval, thus registering his name in the history books.

The Australian left-handed batsman had been struggling with form throughout the Ashes series in England. But made a splendid comeback in the home season against Pakistan. He scored a century in the first Test to aid Australia to an innings victory to announce his comeback in grand fashion.
