Sir Donald George Bradman aka “The Don”: Most Double Centuries in the History of Cricket

It’s nothing unusual that Sir Don Bradman holds the record of the most double centuries in Test cricket. He is the greatest batesman of all time. If you want to know more about his unachievable high records, just look at the next impressive stats:

1. Highest results of 200s per innings (80 inns/12 double centuries): double centuries for EVERY 6 innings!
2. In 1930 series has made 3 double centuries;
3. Most triple centuries (2 — like Brian Lara, Chris Gayle and Virender Sehwag);
4. Considered as the greatest phenomenon in the history of cricket, and in the history of ball games. His incredible perfomance in the world sport context made him above the top-performers and legends, like Michael Jordan, Pele or Ty Cobb.
