List of Batsmen with Two Triple Centuries

Sir Don Bradman:

Sir Don Bradman was one of the greatest people to ever step on the cricket field. His numbers are staggering and no player in the history of the game has even come close to that average - 99.94. He scored 29 centuries in 52 Test matches, two of them were triple centuries. Sir Don Bradman was the second player in the history of the game to score a triple century. He was the first player to score two triple centuries.
Sir Don Bradman had both triple centuries against England and both were scored in draw games. One was at Headingley in Leeds (3rd Test) in 1930. He scored 334 runs which was the highest individual score at that time. That innings included an impressive 309 runs in a day which remains a record as he is the only player to score 300 runs in a single day. Bradman's second triple century came in 1934 when he scored 304 runs in the fourth Test.

Virender Sehwag

Virender Sehwag became the only batsman in the history of India to score three triple centuries. Back in 2009, the Delhi dasher played a scintillating innings of 293 against Sri Lanka but could not create history. However, he is still in the record books and is one of four players in Test cricket with two triple centuries.
After making his middle-order debut in 2001, Sehwag was promoted to bat in a year's time. He started scoring centuries rapidly and made a significant impact on the game. He also had the ability to convert his centuries into big ones. Thus, in 2004, became the first Indian to score a triple century in Test cricket. It came against Pakistan in Multan as Sehwag scored 309 runs.
Again four years later, Sehwag repeated the feat in Chennai and this time against South Africa. He improved on his previous best and scored 319 runs in 2008, becoming the only Indian to score a triple century in Test cricket, until Karun Nair did one in 2016.

Chris Gayle

Chris Gayle has played an impressive 404 T20 matches in his career. He is an absolute legend in the shortest format and one of the greatest T20 players to ever play the game. However, Test player Christopher Henry Gayle is not talked about enough and praised for his efforts and performance in the longest format.
Gayle averages 42.18 in Test cricket and has scored 15 centuries and 37 fifties. There are only seven other West Indies players to have scored more than Gayle's 7214 runs in Test cricket. He is the second West Indies batsman to score two triple centuries. His first of two triple centuries came in 2005 at the Antigua Recreation Ground in St. John's. Scored 317 runs in a game against South Africa, which eventually ended in a draw. His second triple century came in 2010 in Sri Lanka. It was another game that ended in a draw as Gayle scored 333 runs in his 11-hour stay at the crease. However, that 333 against Sri Lanka came when no other player scored a century from either side.
Chris Gayle is one of the best T20 players in the history of the game. However, his Test record is quite good and that too should be commended.

Brian Lara

There will be a lot of talk about Brian Lara. There are many records. He holds the record for the highest individual score - 400. No other player in the history of the game has broken the record for the highest individual score twice apart from Lara. He is the only player to have two scores over 350.
Lara scored 11953 runs in Test cricket at an average of 52.88 and was also the highest run-scorer in Test cricket before Sachin Tendulkar took over. However, he will always be remembered for his two mega triple centuries. They both came up against England as they piled up misery. His first score was scored in his early years in international cricket. In 1994, playing at the Antigua Recreation Ground in St John's, Lara demolished England's bowling attack and scored a brilliant 375 runs, breaking Sir Gary Sobers' record of 365 - the highest individual score in Test cricket.
In 2004 against the same opposition (England) and at the same venue (Antigua Recreation Ground, St John's). Lara, facing 582 balls and being at the crease for almost 13 hours, broke all records and became the first player to score 400 in Test cricket. He broke Matthew Hayden's record score of 380 and once again topped the list of highest individual scores in Test cricket.
