Explanation

Brian Lara scored 221 in the first innings and 130 in the second innings against Sri Lanka in Colombo during the 2001-02 series. Despite Lara's extraordinary performance, West Indies lost the match. This unique double-century-plus-century feat in a lost Test makes him the answer. Lara is also famous for scoring 400 runs in a single Test innings.
