Test cricket is a game that is full of iconic records and it is a real test for every player for playing 5 days continuously. Record book of test cricket holds some great records and legends that we have forgot a long time back.

Some legends scribble their names into the record book by giving outstanding performances and Narendra Hirwani is one of them. Only, true cricket enthusiasts remember his name and this generation of 90's may never heard of his name.

He holds the record of the longest unbroken spell against England in 1990 at the Oval in London. The Indian leg-spinner delivered 59 overs or 354 balls without a break (except for scheduled intervals) in the fourth and the final innings of the contest.

Till date, the record of Narendra Hirwani is unbreakable and it remains the longest unbroken Test spell in the Test cricket history.
