4 batsmen have scored 2 triple centuries in test cricket
Cricket Records: In the world of cricket, century has its own importance. Sachin Tendulkar, who is called the God of Cricket, has many records in his name, but everyone remembers the record of 100 international centuries in his name. At the same time, if the batsman scores a double century, then what is the point? Many batsmen of the world have done this also. But a triple century is a completely different matter. This is the reason why there are only 4 batsmen in the world of Test cricket, who have the record of scoring triple century twice in this format. Let us know a little about them.
Brian Lara and Don Bradman have scored two triple centuries
When it comes to batsmen who have scored triple centuries twice in Test cricket, the first name that comes to mind is Brian Lara of West Indies. During his Test career, he has scored more than 11 thousand runs by playing 131 Tests. He has 34 centuries and 9 double centuries to his name. He has crossed the 300 mark twice. Brian Lara had once scored 400 unbeaten runs, which is still a record and no batsman in the world has been able to break it. After this, Don Bradman of Australia does. The special thing is that Don Bradman had scored 29 centuries and 12 double centuries after playing only 52 Tests. He also has a triple century to his name twice. His average is more than 99.
Names of Virender Sehwag and Chris Gayle also included
