Carrying the bat through an innings is a rare achievement for opening batsmen, indicating they remained not out while their team lost all other wickets. Notable instances include England's Geoffrey Boycott against Australia in 1977, India’s Sunil Gavaskar against England in 1979, and Australia’s Chris Rogers against India in 2015. More recently, South Africa's Dean Elgar accomplished this feat in 2021 against India. These performances highlight the batsman's resilience and ability to withstand pressure.
