A Correct answer
Explanation

Virender Sehwag held the record for most double centuries (200+) in Test cricket for India with six scores of 200 or more. His explosive batting style made him the only Indian with multiple double centuries at the time this question was written. While Sachin Tendulkar later surpassed this record, at the time of Sehwag's 293 (2009), Sehwag was indeed the correct answer. Dravid, Gavaskar had fewer double centuries.
