Sachin topscorer outside India

Rajneesh Gupta | January 04, 2004 19:50 IST

Sachin Tendulkar's 241 not out in the first innings of the fourth Test against Australia at Sydney is now the second highest individual innings by an Indian batsman after V V S Laxman's 281 and the highest ever for India on foreign soil.

The previous record was in the name of teammate Rahul Dravid who made a match-winning 233 in the second Test of this series at Adelaide.

A total of 25 Test double hundreds have now been scored by 14 Indians.

Two batsmen -- Sunil Gavaskar and Rahul Dravid -- have scored four double tons each, Sachin Tendulkar has three double centuries to his name, whereas Vinoo Mankad, Dilip Sardesai and Vinod Kambli have scored two double hundreds apiece.

The following table gives details of double hundreds by Indian batsmen in Test cricket:
