Top 5 fastest double-centuries in Test cricket

1. Nathan Astle (New Zealand), 2002 – 153 balls

Chasing a daunting target of 550 runs in the final innings of the Test match, Nathan Astle stepped up big time for the Black Caps and smashed England bowlers around the park for fun and scored runs in quick succession. He was dismissed after scoring 222 runs in 168 balls. The fabulous knock included 28 boundaries and 11 sixes. However, even he wasn’t able to take New Zealand over the finish line as they got bowled out on 451 and England won the match by 98 runs.
