List of players to score century in both innings of Test match

Scoring a century in a Test match is difficult. A batter needs patience, grit, and batting excellence. But some players have done it twice, in both innings of the same match. With Najmul Hossain Shanto scoring his second twin tons, the Bangladeshi batter joins an elite list of cricketers. Sunil Gavaskar, Ricky Ponting, and David Warner have done it thrice. Kumar Sangakkara and Jaques Kallis have scored twin tons twice.

The first cricketer to score centuries in both innings of a Test match was Australia’s Warren Bardsley. He scored 136 and 130 against England in 1909. Since then, the feat has been accomplished by 78 players on 96 occasions as of June 2025.

India’s Sunil Gavaskar was the first to do it thrice, including a memorable 124 and 220 against the West Indies in 1971. Ricky Ponting’s twin centuries in his 100th Test match (120 and 143*) against South Africa in 2006 remain iconic. David Warner, the most recent to join this elite trio, achieved his third twin-century performance in 2015 against New Zealand.

Indian Players with twin tons

Vijay Hazare was the first Indian to score twin tons in a Test match. Hazare hit 116 and 145 against Australia at the Adelaide Oval in 1948. Since then, only five Indian batters have scored twin tons in a Test match. Both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have scored a century in both innings, while Ajinkya Rahane, Rahul Dravid and Sunil Gavaskar are the others. Gavaskar is the only Indian batter to score twin tons three times.
