Sunil Gavaskar – 124 & 220 vs West Indies, 111 & 137 vs Pakistan, and 107 & 182* vs West Indies
Although Sunil Gavaskar’s masterful innings’ videos are unavailable, but those who watched them live were fortunate ones. He is the only third man to score centuries in two innings on three occasions.
Without wearing helmet against the demonic fast bowlers of West Indies, he first reached this milestone in 1971, scoring 124 and 220 in the first and second innings respectively in a drawn Test in Port of Spain.
Similarly, he once again scored 111 and 137 in two innings in the Test match against Pakistan in 1978. But this time his effort went into vain as Pakistan won the match.
Later in 1978, he was unstoppable against West Indies as he scored 107 though India had an early collapse at 300 in the first innings. After West Indies took a slender lead of 27, India returned to bat again where Gavaskar scored 182 and Dilip Vengsarkar made 157 to declare at 361-1. However, the game resulted in a draw.
