From Sehwag to Bradman… those 4 batsmen of the world who scored the most triple centuries in Tests.

New Delhi. Scoring a century in the world of cricket is every batsman's dream. A double century puts him in the category of greatness, but a triple century is the pinnacle where batsmen get breathless when they reach it. In the history of 149 Test cricket, there have been only a few 'chosen gems' who have touched this magical figure not once, but twice. From Don Bradman to Virender Sehwag. The story of these four greats is not just about statistics, but about their indomitable courage and the hours spent at the crease which wrote the history of cricket in golden letters. It is not possible to talk about cricket and not mention Sir Don Bradman. The records that Bradman set in only 52 matches between 1928 and 1948 are still a puzzle. His average of 99.94 screams of his superiority.

Sir Don Bradman scored two triple centuries in his career. His highest score was 334. Interestingly, he was very close to scoring a third triple century, but remained unbeaten on 299 runs. There was such discipline in his batting that if he had been in today's era, he would probably have scored a lot of runs. For him, scoring 300 runs was like winning a marathon, where he did not get tired, rather the bowlers would give up.

Fear of Nawab of Najafgarh
If Bradman was the epitome of discipline, then Virender Sehwag was another name for 'awe'. Sehwag changed the grammar of playing Test cricket. While batsmen become defensive as they approach a triple century, Sehwag showed the audacity to complete his triple century by hitting a six. Sehwag scored two triple centuries (319 and 309) in 104 matches between 2001 and 2013. His inning of 309 runs against Pakistan in Multan made him the 'Sultan of Multan'. Sehwag used to say – 'If the ball is visible, hit it.' He scored at an average of 49.34, but his strike rate gave sleepless nights to the opposition captains. He is the only batsman from India who has two triple centuries in his name.

Dominance of 'Universe Boss'
West Indies batsman Chris Gayle is often considered the king of T20. But his Test figures show that he was also a master of playing long innings. Gayle crossed the 300 mark twice in 103 matches due to his strength and timing. His highest score is 333 runs. Gayle's specialty was that he had the ability to hit long sixes while standing on the crease. When he was in rhythm, the boundaries of the field seemed smaller. Between 2000 and 2014, Gayle gave West Indies cricket the aggression it was looking for. His two triple centuries are proof that along with entertainment, he was also full of patience for Test cricket.

king of records brian lara
Brian Lara's name shines at the top in this list because he has the highest individual score of 400 runs unbeaten in Test cricket. Lara was a player whose Caribbean rhythm and grace were clearly visible in his batting. Lara scored two triple centuries in 131 matches between 1990 and 2006. After scoring 375 runs against England in 1994, when his record was broken by Matthew Hayden, Lara again created history by playing an unbeaten inning of 400 runs against the same England in 2004. Playing big innings was a habit for Lara. With an average of 52.88 and 34 centuries, he is counted among the greatest cricket players of all time.
