4 batsmen who have scored two triple hundreds in international cricket

#3 Virender Sehwag

Virender Sehwag

On March 28th 2004, Virender Sehwag became the first Indian batsman to score a triple hundred in international Test cricket as he essayed a blissful knock of 309 against India's arch-rivals Pakistan at the Multan Cricket Stadium. Sehwag's historic inning paved the way for India to inflict a devasting loss upon Pakistan as the visitors won the match by an innings and 52 runs.

His majestic knock gave India the best possible start to the series which also saw the visitors register a 2-1 series win from the 3-match series. Virender Sehwag was rightly named as the Player of the Series for his efforts.

The 'King of Najafgarg' bettered his score of 309 in 2008 when he scored his second triple hundred as he carried out an onslaught against the South African bowlers in Chennai. The 309 still stands as the highest ever individual score registered by an Indian batsman in the longest format of the game.

Having scored better than a run-a-ball, Sehwag took the fight to the South African side, who were riding high on their first innings total of 540. Even the mighty Dale Steyn couldn't contain Sehwag on that day as the he made his way to a scintillating 319 off 304 balls.
