The trend of the scoring double century in the limited-overs was started by the master blaster Sachin Tendulkar as he became the first player on the planet to score a double in the 50-over format back in 2010 against South Africa. After that many batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Chris Gayle, Virender Sehwag, Martin Guptill, and Fakhar Zaman smashed double centuries.

However, there is still no player who has smashed a double century in T20 cricket. The record of the highest score in T20s is held by Chris Gayle, who played a marathon knock of 175 runs in the Indian Premier League.

In a recent interview, Yuvraj reckoned that it is quite tough to score a double century in the shorter format. But, in cricket, there is no word called possible as anything can happen on the day. As per him,  Gayle and AB de Villiers possess the caliber to score double in T20Is.

As per the quotes in Sport360, Yuvi said, “It (T20 double ton) is very tough I feel. But it is not impossible I would say. With the way the game of cricket is going these days, I feel nothing is impossible. So let us wait and hope for the best. Well, Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers (South Africa) have retired from international cricket, oh wait, Gayle is still playing I forgot.”
