Cricket has witnessed several incredible team performances over the years, with some of them successfully crossing the 900- and 800-run mark. One of the most iconic milestones in the sport came in 1997 when Sri Lanka recorded the highest score in cricket history with a total of 952/6 against India in Colombo. Twenty-five years later, the record remains the team’s pinnacle in the sport.

The game now ranks as the fourth-highest team-scoring run in Test history.
