Wasim Jaffer [Images] played a significant part in reviving India's fortunes in the St. John's Test by scoring a magnificent 212 on the fourth day.
Jaffer, in the process, became only the seventh Indian batsman to score a double century away from the subcontinent. Sunil Gavaskar [Images] and Rahul Dravid [Images] have done so twice.
