\"\" <\/p>\n

In this quiz<\/a>, you have to name the players who have the highest individual scores on their men\u2019s Test debut.<\/p>\n

A teen debutant for South Africa is the latest entrant to the list, for his 160-ball 153 in the first innings of the series opener against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo. At 19 years 93 days, he also became the youngest from his country to score a men\u2019s Test hundred and the 10th youngest overall. His 153 is the 24th highest score by a Test batter on debut.<\/p>\n

Apart from him, 25 other players have crossed the 150-run mark on debut, with the previous such instance being 171, scored by an India opener against the West Indies in 2023.<\/p>\n

Overall, seven players have scored double-hundreds on men’s Test debut. Notably, the last two Test double-centuries on debut came in 2021 after an 18-year drought. Of those, the first was scored by a West Indian all-rounder, whose unbeaten 210 in the fourth innings powered a record 395-run chase against Bangladesh on a spin-friendly Chattogram pitch. This remains the fifth-highest successful fourth-innings chase in Test history and the highest-ever fourth-innings chase in Asia. <\/p>\n

Name all 26 players who have scored at least 150 runs in an innings on their Test debut. Use the hints provided: their full name, team, and debut year. You have five minutes to complete this quiz.<\/p>\n
