Guwahati: Ishan Kishan, a young batsman for Team India amassed an astounding double hundred in the third One-Day International in the three-match series against Bangladesh on Saturday in Chattogram.
Ishan Kishan is now the seventh batter in the world and fourth from India, behind Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma, and Virender Sehwag to accomplish this accomplishment.
Ishan scored 305 runs for India while hitting 24 fours and 10 sixes in his blistering innings before being bowled out for 210 in the 36th over.
When Kishan faced the final delivery of the 35th over, which was bowled by veteran Bangladeshi left-arm bowler Mustafizur Rahman, he was batting on 199. A good Yorker was delivered by the bowler, but Kishan recovered and steered the ball towards cover for a single.
The aggressive left-hander Kishan had his arms raised as he approached the noteworthy location, removed his helmet and punched the air in celebration while roaring.
The opener put his name in the pot for the opening position with this inning with the ODI World Cup approaching. He was joined by Virat Kohli on the other end as they danced briefly to celebrate the important occasion.
In 50-over cricket, Chris Gayle had held the world record for the fastest double hundred, which was broken by Kishan. Gayle needed 138 deliveries to reach his double hundred against Zimbabwe at the 2015 ICC World Cup.
