BAN vs IND: Ishan Kishan becomes the fourth Indian to score an ODI double hundred

Young wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan registered his maiden international hundred on Saturday while batting against Bangladesh in the third ODI in Chattogram. He was inducted into the side as Rohit Sharma's replacement and not just changed the face of India's top order but also toppled a number of batting records, becoming the fourth Indian batter to score an ODI double-hundred.

The 24-year-old reached the feat off just 126 deliveries, becoming the fastest cricketer across to world to notch a double hundred. Overall he became the 7th batter in the international circuit to reach the milestone.

Kishan's fireworks certainly overshadowed the presence of Virat Kohli who arrived early at the crease. The youngster's ferocious stroke play compelled the former India captain to play second fiddle and enjoy one of the most impressive batting shows in the 50-over format.

Ishan Kishan's knock also marked the fastest double century in men's ODI history, surpassing Chris Gayle's effort that came off 138 balls. The Indian brought up his double ton off just 126 balls.

The left-hander finally fell for 210 off 131 balls, finishing with the third-highest individual score for India in this format. He was dismissed in the 36th over when he looked set to overhaul a few more milestones on the day.

He also became the first Indian batter to score an ODI double-century outside India.
