List of cricketers who have scored centuries in both innings of a Test match

In cricket, a player is said to have scored a century when they score 100 or more runs in a single innings. Test cricket, the longest version of the game, involves two innings per side in a match. An individual scoring centuries in each innings of a Test match, a feat which is called "Twin centuries," is considered a "milestone" by critics.^[1][2] Players from all teams that are full members of the International Cricket Council (ICC) except Ireland and Afghanistan have scored centuries in both innings of a Test.^[a][4]

Bardsley c.1909

The first player to score centuries in both innings of a Test match was Warren Bardsley of Australia, who made 136 and 130 against England in August 1909.^[5][6] Since then, the feat has been accomplished by 80 players on 98 occasions as of July 2025^[update].^[4] India's Sunil Gavaskar and Australians Ricky Ponting and David Warner are the only cricketers who have scored two centuries in a match on three occasions, while 12 players have achieved the feat twice.^[4] England's Graham Gooch has the highest aggregate in a match while scoring centuries in both the innings; 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 (male)".^[7][8][9] His feat of scoring a triple century and a century was subsequently equalled, though with lower scores, by Kumar Sangakkara: while seven other players have scored a double century and a single century in the match. Allan Border and Shubman Gill are the only players to have scored 150 (or more) in each innings.^[10] Sri Lanka's Aravinda de Silva is the only player to remain not out in both innings.^[11]

There have been six instances of two players performing the feat in the same match—Denis Compton (England) and Arthur Morris (Australia) in 1947, Australia's Greg Chappell and Ian Chappell (against New Zealand) in 1974, Asanka Gurusinha (Sri Lanka) and Andrew Jones (New Zealand) in 1991, Pakistan's Azhar Ali and Misbah-ul-Haq (against Australia) in 2014, David Warner (Australia) and Virat Kohli (India) in 2014 and Sri Lanka's Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis (against Bangladesh) in 2024.^[4]

West Indies' Lawrence Rowe (1972) and Pakistan's Yasir Hameed (2003) are the only debutants to score centuries in both innings of a Test match.^[12][13] Andy Flower and Rishabh Pant are the only 2 players to achieve the feat as a designated wicket-keeper.^[14]
