3 West Indies Batsmen who scored the Most Double Centuries in Tests-compressed

West Indies cricket team were once considered the greatest Test team in the world. They made a telling impact by dominating the proceedings across all aspects of the game. As a result, they were able to churn out results when required. It is worth noting that they have clinched 8 consecutive Test series between 1984 and 1988.

For the record, they held the Wisden Trophy for 27 years from 1969 to 1995. Some of their greatest players include the likes of Sir Vivian Richards, Sir Garry Sobers, Malcolm Marshall and Curtly Ambrose. After they retired, the likes of Brian Lara, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Chris Gayle and others stepped up the ante.

However, as the years progressed, there has been a steady decline in terms of the overall performance of the West Indies cricket team. The team witnessed a downfall in Test cricket and they have not won a Test series since 2008, which goes to show that they still have plenty of things to fix.

Case in point, scoring a double century in Test cricket has never been that easy because one needs patience, perseverance, mental resilience and endurance to score a big knock. Let’s now learn about the three West Indies batsmen who scored the most double-centuries in Tests.
