In the history of Test cricket, only a handful of batsmen have managed to score a century in each innings of a Test match. This is considered a remarkable achievement as it requires skill, temperament, and stamina. However, there is only one player who has managed to do this not once, not twice, but thrice - Sir Everton Weekes.

Weekes was a member of the famous West Indies team that dominated international cricket in the 1950s. He was a technically sound batsman who had an insatiable appetite for runs. His ability to play both spin and pace made him a feared opponent for any bowling attack.

Weekes' first instance of scoring a century in each innings of a Test match came in 1948 against India. In the first innings, he scored 128 runs, while in the second innings, he remained unbeaten on 194. His next double century in both innings came in 1951 against Australia, where he scored 161 runs and an unbeaten 200 runs. Finally, in 1955, Weekes achieved the feat again against England, scoring 206 runs in the first innings and 109 runs in the second innings.

Weekes played a total of 48 Test matches for West Indies, scoring 4,455 runs at an average of 58.61. He scored 15 Test centuries and 19 half-centuries. His highest score in Test cricket was 207 runs, which he scored against India in 1953.

Weekes was an elegant batsman who played with grace and poise. He was also a brilliant fielder who had safe hands and a powerful throwing arm. His contributions to West Indies cricket were significant, and he was an inspiration to many young cricketers.

In conclusion, Sir Everton Weekes is the only cricketer to have scored a century in each innings of a Test match on three separate occasions. His achievement is a testament to his skill, determination, and mental strength. He will always be remembered as one of the greatest batsmen to have played the game and an icon of West Indies cricket.
