# Five batsmen scored a double century on debut tests but none of them had a long test career. Jacques Rudolph has played the most test among them - 48.

# Brendon Kuruppu is the only wicket keeper to score a double century on debut test. However his career lasted 4 tests – the least by anyone who had scored a double century.

# 8 players scored a double century on their 16^th test – the most for any test. This also includes Brian Lara’s world record of 375 vs England at St John’s in 1994.

# Len Hutton took the fewest test to score a triple hundred - 6.

# Thilan Samaraweera is the only player to score a double century in his 49^th test. For every other test match (from #1 - #50), there are at least two for every test.

# G Boycott, E Rowan, K Pietersen, C Walcott and Shoaib Mohammed scored a double century on their 25^th tests.

# C Gayle, Miandad, K Barrington, S Gavaskar and B Lawry scored a double century on their 50^th tests.

# Andy Sandham & Bob Cowper scored triple centuries on their 14^th test. There are no other instances of two triple tons in the same test.

# Five batsmen had been dismissed on 190s in their 40^th test including two on 199 (Younis Khan & Ian Bell). For no other instances of two 199s in the same test.

Another record in the already illustrious CV of Sachin Tendulkar
