Virender Sehwag Is The Only Indian In The Elite List Of Batsmen To Have Scored Two Test Triple Hundreds

Scoring a triple hundred in Test cricket is a big deal and a few great batsmen have achieved this feat.

However, imagine getting more than one. Yes, that has happened too. Only one Indian on the list though, our very own Virender Sehwag. He came close to a 3rd triple hundred but fell for 293. Don Bradman was even more unlucky at 299 not out when his No. 11 partner got run out as he went for the 300th run.

So here is our elite list:

1. Virender Sehwag (India)

He became the Indian to score a 300 and four years later did it again.

2. Don Bradman (Australia)

An average of almost 100 meant he got plenty of big scores. Two triple hundreds are certainly not beyond this man

3. Brian Lara (West Indies)

His 375 was broken by Matthew Hayden and he took the record back with an unbeaten 400, the highest individual score in Tests.

4. Chris Gayle (West Indies)

He may be T20 specialist but the left-hander does have some big knocks in Tests. 317 and 333 are ample proof of his talent in the longest version.
