Triple centuries are one of the biggest achievements for any batsmen in international test cricket. Scoring a triple century is not an easy task for any batsmen. The first triple century in a Test match was scored by Andy Sandham (England) against the West Indies in 1930.
Brian Lara (West Indies) is the only player in the world who converts his triple century into 400 runs mark. The fastest triple century in terms of balls (278-balls) was scored by the Virender Sehwag against South Africa in Chennai in 2008.
