Ishan Kishan became the fourth Indian batter to score a double century in One Day Internationals, producing a stunning exhibition of stroke-making in the third and final match of the series against Bangladesh on Saturday.

Kishan demolished the Bangladesh bowling alongside Virat Kohli (113) to lead India to 409-8 in the third match on Saturday. The left-hander, who made the team in the absence of injured skipper Rohit Sharma, made full use of the opportunity. The duo put on 290 runs for the second wicket – the seventh highest partnership in men’s ODI history.
