Ishan Kishan experienced one of a young player’s fantasy days when he scored his first double-century in ODIs against Bangladesh in the decisive match at Chattogram’s Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium. After captain Rohit Sharma was ruled out due to a thumb injury, the 24-year-old seized the chance at the top of the order.
The fastest double hundred in ODI history was actually Kishan’s double tonne. The left-hander joined an exclusive group of cricketers who have achieved double centuries for India in one-day internationals in just 126 deliveries. Only three other Indian cricketers, Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, and Rohit Sharma—have accomplished the feat.
Ishan & Kohli Celebration – Watch
Kishan, who was batting on 199, dug out a yorker to get it inside the area of the cover since he was very intent on reaching the milestone. When he reached the landmark, he celebrated by “leaping in the air,” and everyone in the dugout, including the dressing room, stood to applaud.

With some brilliant boundaries, Kohli provided the ideal counterbalance at the other end, and as Kishan reached his double tonne, the two of them eye-catching celebrated. The pair celebrated the major occasion with a brief dance, with Kohli at the other end for the company. When the two batters were seen performing Bollywood dance steps, the former Indian skipper appeared to be really pleased for the young player.
Kishan & Kohli dismissed after heroic knocks
Kishan, a wicketkeeper-batter, played a mind-blowing innings before being finally dismissed for a massive 210 off just 131 balls. During that time, he struck 24 fours and ten sixes. The talented batsman made sure to accelerate as he reached 100 and showed no mercy to any of the Bangladesh bowlers.
India is now in a fantastic position to compile a challenging total thanks to Kishan’s double century. A spectacular century has also been reached by Kohli, who was sitting in the finest seat in the house when Kishan was hitting all around.
