20 itemsUpdated Mar 23, 2026

A double century in Test cricket represents the pinnacle of sustained batting excellence. Don Bradman's 12 double centuries — a record he shares with Kumar Sangakkara — came in an era of timeless Tests that allowed for such accumulations. In modern cricket, the record for double centuries is dominated by those who combine technique, concentration and the ability to bat for long periods.
