Shikhar Dhawan’s 248 off 150 balls for India A against South Africa A at the LC de Villiers Oval on Monday is the second highest score in List A career behind Ali Brown’s 268 for Surrey against Glamorgan in 2002. Dhawan hit 30 boundaries (a record he shares with Brown) and seven sixes in his breathtaking knock.

List A includes all the domestic limited overs competitions and One-day Internationals (ODIs). Graeme Pollock became the first person to score a double century (222 not out) in List A career in 1974. Alan Barrow then became the second person to achieve this incredible feat in 1975 playing for Natal against South Africa XI.

Here’s the list of double-tons in the List A format

 
Three Indians feature in the list. The first Indian to reach this list was Sachin Tendulkar who scored 200 not out against South Africa in Gwalior in 2010. Virender Sehwag was second Indian in the list who scored 219 against West Indies in Indore.
