17-year-old Y🍌ashasvi Jaiswal registered his name into the record books by smashing a 149-ball double hundred against Jharkhand in the Vijay Hazare Trophy fixture on Wednesday. He became the youngest double centurion in List A cricket.
Th🧸e Mumbai batsman, who made his List A debut in the ongoing 2019-20 season, has been in fine form. Prior to this match in Bengaluru, he had scored two c﷽enturies against Goa and Kerala.
The left-hander smashed 17 fours and 12 sixes during his scintillating knock. He was eventually caught by Rahul Shukla off Vivek Tiwari for 203 (154) in the last over of Mumbai’s innings.
Jaiswal’s knock left Twitterati in awe. The netizens couldn’t stop heaping praises and appreciation on the teenager.
Here’s how Twitter reacted:
Yashasvi Jaiswal at 17 years 192 days became the youngest to score a double hundred in List A cricket.
He scored it for Mumbai v Jharkhand at Alur today. As a yoꦇungster he stayed in his club tent for 3 yrs. Also sold Pani-Puri during Ramlila in the Azad Maidan— Sarang Bhalerao (@bhaleraosarang)
Yashasvi Jaiswal just hit a spectacular double hundred for Mumbai against a Jharkhand attack that included Varun Aaron, Shahbaz Nadeem and Anukul Roy, his third hundred in five Vijay Hazare matches.
Seriously one to watch!— Joy Bhattacharjya (@joybhattacharj)
Yashasvi Jaiswal of Mumbai – 203 vs Jharkhand:
– First teenager to score a List A double century [17y 292d]
– First 21st century born to score a List A 200 [Dec 28, 2001]
– Most sixes in a Vijay Hazare Trophy game [12 sixes]— Sampath Bandarupalli (@SampathStats)
Yashasvi Jaiswal was in the radar of all IPL teams at last year’s auction but a couple of them felt it was too early 🐠and he needed more power. Think the message has reached him. Hopefully he has done enough to get a deal this year.

Terrific double century by Mumbai’s Yashasvi Jaiswal against 🌄Jharkhand off just 149 balls. Third three-figure mark in four games 💫for the 17-year-old. The youngest Indian to score List-A double.
