Triple Century In Test & Double Hundred In ODIs: In the history of international cricket, many fearsome batsmen have come and gone, but there have been only a few batsmen who have registered their names in the pages of history. In international cricket, very few batsmen have been able to create fear among the bowlers, among which the names of former Indian opener Virender Sehwag and former West Indies opener Chris Gayle come on top. They scored a lot of runs with their batting in all three formats and both were successful in achieving a feat which no batsman has been able to do till date.
