New Delhi. Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is doing amazing batting in the second test against West Indies. After winning the toss and opting to bat first, Team India scored 318 runs on the board at the loss of two wickets on the first day, out of which 173 runs were from Jaiswal. Jaiswal is 27 runs away from the third double century of his Test career. If Yashasvi Jaiswal is successful in scoring a double century against West Indies, then he will make his place in the list of top-5 players who have scored most double centuries for India.
Virat Kohli holds the record of scoring maximum 7 double centuries in Test cricket for India. No Indian has scored more double centuries in Tests than him. Sachin Tendulkar is jointly second in the list of players who have scored the most double centuries for India in the history of Test cricket. He had scored 6 double centuries in his career. Apart from him, former explosive opener Virender Sehwag is also at second position with the same number of double centuries.
Rahul Dravid, known as the wall of the Indian Test team, had scored 5 double centuries in his Test career, he is at the third position in the list. Little Master is at fourth place in the list with 4 double centuries. He was the first player in the history of Test cricket to touch the magical figure of 10 thousand runs. If Yashasvi Jaiswal scores the third double century of his Test career against West Indies, he will be at par with Cheteshwar Pujara. Pujara has also scored three double centuries in his career, but he is no longer a part of the Indian Test setup.
