New Delhi. It is every player's dream to play an inning of 300 runs in Test cricket but it is not within everyone's power to do it. Even the great batsman Sachin Tendulkar could never reach 300 runs in his career. Virender Sehwag was the first to accomplish this feat from India's side. After this, Karun Nair became the second Indian to do so. The record for becoming the youngest person to score a triple century in Test is held by Sir Garfield Sobers of West Indies.
Gary Sobers had accomplished this feat at the age of just 21 years and 213 days. In 1958, he achieved this special feat in the match played between West Indies and Pakistan at Sabina Park, Kingston. A young 21 year old boy, Gary Sobers, took to the field. He not only scored 365* runs but also created a new world record in Test cricket. The bowlers got tired but Sobers did not stop. Pakistan had scored 328 and 288 runs in the first innings. In the first innings, West Indies declared the innings after scoring 790 runs for 3 wickets and won the match by an innings and 174 runs.
Help us wish the greatest West Indian All-Rounder, Sir Garry Sobers, a happy birthday!ЁЯРРЁЯОВ
