    New Delhi (NVI): Mayank Agarwal today overtook Sir Don Bradman in the list of batsmen with fewest innings to two 200s as he smashed his 2nd double hundred in only his 4th Test in Indore.

     

    Mayank hit his second double hundred in Test cricket as India continued to dominate Bangladesh in the first Test of the 2-match series here.

     

    With his second double ton in 12th innings, Mayank Agarwal surpassed the legendary Don Bradman (13 innings) in Test cricket to become the second-fastest batsman to take fewest innings to two 200s.

     

    India’s former batsman Vinod Kambli leads the list as he took only 5 innings for the first two double tons.

     

    With this double ton, Agarwal became only the second India opener to hit two double tons in a season after Vinoo Mankand, who had achieved this feat in 1955/56.
