List of Test cricket triple centuries

A triple century (an individual score of 300 or more) in Test cricket has been scored on 28 occasions by 24 different batsmen from eight of the ten Test-cricket playing nations. No player from Bangladesh or Zimbabwe has scored 300.

The first Test triple century was achieved by Andy Sandham of England against the West Indies in 1930 in the first Test series hosted in the West Indies. The frequency of a batsman scoring a Test triple century is slightly less than that of a bowler taking a Test hat-trick (28 triple centuries versus 40 hat-tricks as of February 2014). The quickest Test triple-century was scored in 4 hours 48 minutes, by Wally Hammond for England against New Zealand at Auckland in 1932–33. The fastest Test triple-century by number of balls faced, where that figure is recorded, is Virender Sehwag's 278-ball triple century for India against South Africa in the first Test of the Future Cup in Chennai in 2008.
