This day that year: Virender Sehwag hits two 300s four years apart

By Saurabh Sharma March 29, 2020 • 15:31 PM View: 894

New Delhi, March 29: Virender Sehwag is one of only our players to have managed to score a triple hundred more than once in their Test career. He was also the first Indian batsman to do so and the feat remained untouched till Karun Nair scored 303 against England in December 2016.

Incidentally, both of Sehwag's triple tons came on the same date four years apart. On March 29, 2004, Sehwag hammered 39 fours and six sixes in 375 balls to score 309 runs against a Pakistan bowling attack that featured the likes of Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Sami and Saqlain Mushtaq in Multan.
