Until August 9, 2023, there have been 37 List A double centurions, who have accounted for the 42 double centuries in the format.

Less than a year before the first ever Men’s World Cup, Graeme Pollock slammed 222 in 165 balls in a 60-over match for Eastern Province against Border – the first ever List A double-hundred.

A year later, Natal captain Barry Richards declared after 54.4 overs against a South African XI – you could do that back then – when Alan Barrow reached 202.

Alvin Kallicharran’s 206 for Warwickshire against Oxfordshire in 1984, too, came in a 60-over match, as was Vince Wells’s 201 for Leicestershire against Berkshire in 1996.

Curiously, the next List A double ton – Ali Brown’s 119-ball 203 for Surrey against Hampshire in 1997 – was in a 40-over match. It was not until 2002 that Brown (yes, again) got his 160-ball 268 for Surrey against Glamorgan – the first double-hundred in men’s 50-over cricket.

Brown’s score was not beaten until 2022/23, when N Jagadeesan of Tamil Nadu amassed 277 against Arunachal Pradesh.

In 2009/10, Sachin Tendulkar made exactly 200 not out, the first to reach the milestone in men’s ODIs. Of the ten 200s in the format, three are by Rohit Sharma – who also holds the record of 264 in the format as well as the most double tons in List A cricket.

Apart from Brown and Rohit, the only others to hit two List A double hundreds are Travis Head (202 in 2015/16, 230 in 2021/22) and Prithvi Shaw (227 not out in 2020/21, 244 in 2023). Shaw is the only batter with two entries in the top ten, at sixth and tenth place.
