The Indian opener, Mayank Agarwal went on to score his second double century on Day 2 of the first Test against Bangladesh in Indore on Friday. Batting with great confidence, Agarwal converted his third Test century into a double hundred and with that he surpassed Don Bradman on the list od becoming the fastest batsman to score two double Test centuries.

Agarwal now has two double centuries and he took one inning less than the Australian batting legend to reach the landmark. Bradman had taken 13 innings to score his second double century in Test cricket, while the Indian opener achieved this feat in just 12 innings.

However, the record of taking the lesser innings to score two double centuries is held by former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli who began his Test career on an electric-pace, scoring two double centuries in his first five innings.
