7 players who scored a triple century this decade before David Warner

#4 Kumar Sangakkara (February 2014 vs Bangladesh)

Kumar Sangakkara in full flow

Kumar Sangakkara is the fourth player on this list. The world-class batsman, who averaged an outstanding 57.40 In 134 Tests for Sri Lanka, scored a mammoth 319 against Bangladesh at Chattogram.

Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat on a slow pitch that offered some assistance to spinners. Sangakkara came in to bat at the fall of the first wicket (39-1), and he could score his runs at a rapid rate right from the word go because of Bangladesh's wayward bowling.

Their spinners bowled too short on three occasions, and each time Sangakkara rocked back in his crease and dispatched the ball for six.

The left-hander was well supported by Mahela Jayawardene (72 runs). They were rarely put under pressure because the Bangladesh bowlers gave them a plethora of bad balls to work with.

Sangakkara reached his triple century in style as he charged down the pitch and smashed a huge six over the leg-side boundary (to make the score 564-9). He was eventually last man out as Sri Lanka were bowled out for 587.
