Key Facts: Pacesetters of the 300-Club
Virender Sehwag’s triple century against South Africa is the only one in Test history to have been scored at a strike rate of over 100.
Harry Brook, who has the most Test centuries among players debuting after 2020, smashed a triple hundred at nearly a run-a-ball pace against Pakistan in the 2024 Multan Test.
It was also England’s first triple century of this century — in fact, their first since 1990. You can find a complete list of England’s triple centurions in this blog.
Karun Nair has scored a total of 374 runs in Test cricket, with 81% of those coming in a single innings — his unbeaten 303 against England in 2016. After a nine-year gap, he is now back in the Indian squad for the 2025 Test series in England.
