Of those with six or more double hundreds, only Root, Kane Williamson and Virat Kohli remain active, with the latter recording one more double century than Root with seven.

The legendary Don Bradman leads the charts with 12 double hundreds over the course of his 20-year Test career, one more than Sri Lankan ace Kumar Sungakkara achieved.

Brian Lara scored nine double hundreds for the West Indies, which includes his 400 not out against England in 2004.
