3 Current Indian Players Who Can Hit 300 In Test Cricket; Cricket is a game dominated by numbers. Numbers which often define a player’s career and which matter to the billions of cricket enthusiasts around the globe. Speaking of numbers, 300 runs in a single inning by a player is something that is revered by the cricketing fraternity.

Surprisingly, the Indian National Cricket Team, who are known as the best producers of batsmen to the world cricket, have got only two cricketers, who scored triple centuries in Test cricket.

Even the god of cricket Sachin Tendulkar never reached the mark, leaving a rare black spot in his remarkable career. However, his partner, Virender Sehwag achieved the mark twice while Karnataka batsman Karun Nair was the second and last Indian to achieve the feat.

As triple centuries are becoming a rare sight in the Indian Cricket, we figured out three current cricketers, who can join the list with a triple century to their name.

Any questions about his inclusion? Well, his career graph so far answers all of them. The young lad from Karnataka has already created an impact with his enormous tallies for the Indian National Cricket Team in his short career. He already registered a couple of double centuries and likes to dominate the bowlers whenever the shot was on offer.

Scoring triple century isn’t a new thing for Mayank Agarwal, as he scored them for fun in the domestic circuit for Karnataka. The flamboyant batsman belongs to such a category, who never backs down to hit it over the park if it is in his arc. Besides that, he got the calibre to play long innings, which would certainly help him to achieve the mark.

On top of it, he is an opener, which certainly gives him a lot of time to reach the magical figure. Ironically, he is a big fan of Virender Sehwag and what is more soothing than joining him in this rare chart?

So far, he scored 964 runs in his 10 matches for India at an average of 64.27. His 964-run tally includes 2 double centuries, three centuries and 4 fifties.

Well, the Indian National Cricket Team skipper Virat Kohli also finds a place in the chart, as he became a batting maestro in the modern-day cricket. The flamboyant batsman is currently one of the best batsmen in the world cricket and got all the required goods to deliver a triple century for India.

He has already registered seven double centuries, in which, he got a couple of chances to score his maiden triple century but he opted to put his team forward, thus, declared innings being unbeaten.

Virat Kohli scored 27 centuries in Test cricket, which are more than his fifties tally of 22. It shows the consistency of Virat in converting good starts into big knocks. With India set to play a hectic cricket in the next couple of years, we might see him cracking a triple for India.

1. Rohit Sharma:

Yeah!!! Rohit Sharma, who recently started opening innings for India in Test Cricket has got all the requirements to top this chart. He has already registered double centuries in ODI cricket and it isn’t a great deal of work for Rohit Sharma to stay in the middle for a triple century. With the range of strokes Rohit Sharma possess, a big knock is around the corner for the Mumbaikar.

He has already scored a double century and six centuries to show his calibre in the red-ball cricket to the world. A more technically sound batsman now, Rohit has shown improvement against the red ball with better awareness of his off-stump, a more compact technique, and a higher degree of patience.

Going by his current form, it is just about a matter of time for him to crack a triple century in Test cricket. So far, he managed to score 2141 runs in 32 Test matches at an average of 46.54.
