IND vs ENG, 3rd Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal becomes third-youngest batter to score two Test double hundreds

Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal became the third-youngest batter to score two Test double hundreds, during his side’s third Test against England in Rajkot on Sunday.

The left-handed opener, who scored his first 200 against England earlier in this series, is only behind India’s Vinod Kambli and Australian legend Don Bradman in this elite list.

Jaiswal got to the landmark figure with a single to the cover region against off-spinner Joe Root.

The 22-year-old was at his brutal best against England, with the left-handed hitting an Indian record 10 sixes in the innings.

Kambli became the youngest to two double hundreds in 1993, when he went past 200-run mark against Zimbabwe in Delhi, 22 days after he did the same against England at the Wankhede.

Bradman’s had achieved the feat with back-to-back double hundreds against England in 1930 in the span of 14 days. He would add another 200 to his tally 36 days later, again against England.
