Former India opener Virender Sehwag is one of the only four batters to score two triple-centuries in Test cricket, and he nearly became the first to score three but missed it by an agonizing seven runs on December 4, 2009, against Sri Lanka in Mumbai.
It was a typical fearless Sehwag knock that produced 293 runs off just 254 balls as he sent the Lankan bowlers to the cleaners, hitting 40 fours and 7 sixes; but fell short of creating a world record.
