10 Players with most double hundreds in Test career

By Sardar Muhammad Rowais

10 Players with most double hundreds in Test career                   

Most hundreds in cricket career feat belongs to Sachin Tendulkar. The little master put up an incredible 100 hundreds across all formats during his 24 yearlong cricketing career.  Although it took a long period for him to reach the landmark, especially his 100th century came after a long delay. But nevertheless he reached at the top and became eternal. Sachin’s record of hundred hundreds have been the talk of the town for a long time and almost everyone knows who holds the feat of most hundreds in cricket. However the thing is, players with most double hundreds in test cricket history also deserve to be praised. No offence, Sachin Tendulkar’s is certainly incredible and apparently unreachable but the plyers who were even more consistent than Sachin have very little recognition.

Scoring a century in test match is relatively easier as compared to the limited overs game. All batsman has to do is not to lose the wicket and gradually pile up the runs. The extra pressure that is put up by the number of deliveries played is omitted in test format. However when it comes to progressing any further from the hundred run mark, the real trouble begins. Usually batsmen get out after completing a ton in cricket. The reason for it might be, feeling a little relaxed after reaching the landmark and thus losing concentration. Similarly, physical fatigue also plays vital role in the stoppage of a hundred turning into a double hundred. Thus players with most double hundreds in test matches deserve a lot more credit than they are actually given.
