List of cricketers who have scored a double century and a century in the same Test match

In cricket, a century is a score of 100 or more runs in a single innings by a batsman.^[1] Scores of more than 200 runs are still statistically counted as a century, although these scores are referred to as double century (200–299 runs).^[2] A century or a double century is regarded as a landmark score for batsmen and a player's number of centuries or double centuries are generally recorded in their career statistics.^[3] Test cricket, the longest version of the game, involves two innings per side in a match and scheduled to last for up to five days.^[4] An individual scoring a double century and a century in the two innings of a single Test match is considered a notable achievement by critics.^[5]

The feat has been accomplished by 8 players on 8 occasions, as of April 2023. Players from Australia have accomplished the feat three times, the most for any country. So far, no batter has scored a double hundred and hundred in a Test match more than once.^[6] including shubhman gill in 2025 against England in tendulkar -anderson trophy

History

The first player to score a double hundred and a hundred in the same Test match was Doug Walters from Australia, who scored 242 runs in the first innings and 103 runs in the third innings.^[7] He achieved the feat on 17 February 1969 at Sydney Cricket Ground, while playing against the West Indies during the fifth Test of the bilateral series.^[8]`The second player to reach the milestone was India's Sunil Gavaskar, who did it in April 1971 at Queen's Park Oval, against the West Indies . At the age of 21, he made scores of 124 and 220 in the first and third innings respectively,^[9] becoming the youngest player to set the record.^[10] With this, he also became the first player to have double centuries in all four innings in Tests.^[11] Lawrence Rowe was the first player to score a double century and a century in a single Test on his debut match,^[12][13] which he did against New Zealand in February 1972.^[14] His scores of 214 and 100* was also the first time that a player scored a double ton and a ton in the same match and remained not out in any one of the two innings.^[15] Graham Gooch has the highest aggregate in a match while scoring a double century and a century in both the innings;^[16] his combined tally of 456 runs in the match—333 in the first and 123 in the second innings—was entered into The Guinness Book of Records as "Most runs scored by a player in a Test match".^[17] He also became the first batter to score a triple century and a century in the same Test match, while playing against India in July 1990.^[18] Brian Lara’s scores of 221 and 130 against Sri Lanka in November 2001, is the first and only instance of a player achieving the landmark on a losing cause.^[19]
