224 v Australia, Chennai, 2008

Not many wicketkeepers in Test cricket have made double centuries thanks to the tiresome workload they have. It is difficult for the glovesman to bat for over 3-4 hours that are needed to make a score of 200 or more. But MS Dhoni managed to break the threshold against Australia in Chennai, 2008.
