Ishan Kishan Slams Fastest ODI Double Hundred

Ishan Kishan on Saturday slammed the fastest double-century in One-Day Internationals during the ongoing 3rd ODI between India and Bangladesh in Chattogram. He achieved the feat in 126 balls, also becoming the fourth Indian batter to score a double-hundred. Kishan, who was drafted in for the last match of the series after captain Rohit Sharma got injured, slammed 24 fours and 10 sixes, before getting dismissed on the penultimate delivery of the 36th over. After he reached the 200-run mark, people from all walks of life took to Twitter to hails the young batter.

Ishan Kishan was in red-hot form as he rewrote batting record books during the third ODI between India and Bangladesh in Chattogram on Sunday. Playing in his first match of the Bangladesh tour, Ishan blasted 210 off just 131 deliveries to become the fourth Indian to score an ODI double-century. And he reached the milestone on the 126th delivery – which is the quickest by any batter in men’s ODI history. Ishan belted 24 fours and 10 sixes during his record-breaking assault, not sparing anyone.

Kishan broke the world record held earlier by West Indies great Chris Gayle, of slamming the fastest double hundred in 50-over cricket. Gayle had taken 138 deliveries to score his double hundred against Zimbabwe in the 2015 ICC World Cup. India trail Bangladesh 0-2 in the three-match series.
