During the ongoing 3rd ODI between India and Bangladesh in Chattogram, Ishan Kishan became the 4th Indian batter to score a double-century in ODI cricket. Courtesy of a brilliant double ton from Ishan Kishan and a century from Virat Kohli, the Indian team managed to post a humongous total on the board in Chattogram.

Kishan got the opportunity to open the innings for India in the absence of Rohit Sharma, and he took the opportunity with both hands. The boundaries were not that large, and the ordinary bowling of Bangladesh’s bowlers made the job even easier for the Indian southpaw.

Kishan took just 126 balls to reach his double-century, he was jumping & dancing in joy after the same. It will be interesting to see if India will try to play Kishan over Shikhar Dhawan going forward as Dhawan has been struggling to score runs this season.
