#2 Kumar Sangakkara - 11 double hundreds

Kumar Sangakkara had scored his first double century against Pakistan

The former Sri Lankan wicket-keeper batsman, Kumar Sangakkara, holds the record of scoring the most double hundreds among Asian batsmen. The left-handed batsman, who had represented the island nation in 134 Test matches, hit his first two double centuries outside home.

He slammed his maiden double ton in Test cricket in Lahore and then played a magnificent knock of 270 runs versus Zimbabwe in Bulawayo. Sangakkara soon registered his first 200+ score in Tests at home with a 232 runs inning versus South Africa. Two years later, he hit 287 runs in a home Test against the same opponents.

Playing against Bangladesh in 2007, the former Sri Lankan captain registered two double hundreds in the space of just eight days. His seventh double century came against India in July 2010 while in 2011, Sangakkara recorded his maiden double century in the United Arab Emirates.

The Matale-born icon then decimated the Bangladeshi bowlers to achieve his highest Test score of 319 in February 2014. His penultimate 200+ score came against Pakistan at Galle whereas he hit the last double century of his Test career versus New Zealand in 2015.
