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.
Ishan notched up his maiden ODI hundred in the 24th over with a boundary. He reached the feat off just 85 deliveries and roared loudly to celebrate the moment. He then shifted gears and smashed the Bangladesh bowlers left, right and center.
In the next 18 deliveries, he added another fifty runs to his individual score and shattered Virender Sehwag’s 11-year-old record. He surpassed the former flamboyant opener to become the fastest Indian batter to 150 in ODIs.
On the 126th delivery of his magnificent knock, he added a new chapter to the history of the game with a double century. He took a single off the last delivery of the 35th over and reached the remarkable milestone.
