4 batsmen with double hundreds in both Tests and ODIs

#2 Virender Sehwag

Birthday boy Virender Sehwag wasn't as prolific in ODIs as he was in Tests. However, against West Indies at Indore on 8 December 2011, the swashbuckling Sehwag slammed a magnificent double hundred to enter the pages of history. He hit 219 from 149 balls, a knock featuring 25 fours and seven sixes.

Sehwag was literally unstoppable as he dispatched the bowlers to all parts of the ground on what was completely his day. Kemar Roach conceded 88 in his 10 overs as India put up 418 for 5, and won the match by 153 runs. Ravindra Jadeja and Rahul Sharma picked up three wickets each for India.

Apart from his one-day double hundred, Sehwag has two triple hundreds in Test cricket -- 319 against South Africa and 309 against Pakistan. He crossed the 200 mark four more times in his career, narrowly missing out on a third double hundred when he fell for 293 against Sri Lanka.
