In a remarkable display of skill and determination, Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal notched up his second double century in Test cricket during the ongoing third Test against England at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot. The left-handed batter’s monumental innings has left fans in awe and created waves of excitement across social media platforms.
Making history at a young age
Jaiswal, at the age of 22, etched his name in the annals of cricketing history by becoming only the third-youngest batter to achieve the feat of scoring two double hundreds against the English side. This remarkable accomplishment placed him in esteemed company alongside cricketing legends such as Vinod Kambli and Don Bradman.
Record-breaking performance
Jaiswal’s innings was characterized by sheer dominance, as he showcased his aggressive batting prowess by smashing a record-equalling 12 sixes during his stay at the crease. With 14 boundaries to complement his sixes, the young Indian opener remained unbeaten at 214 runs when India declared their second innings at 430/4, setting England a daunting target of 557 runs.
Youngest to two Test double hundreds:
- Vinod Kambli (India) – 21y 54d
- Don Bradman (Australia) – 21y 318d
- Yashasvi Jaiswal (India) – 22y 53d
- Graeme Smith (South Africa) – 22y 180d
