Ishaan Kishan said after creating history in the third match of the IndvsBan series, said – could have scored 300 runs as well

Chittagong. Attacking batsman Ishan Kishan is happy after scoring the fastest double hundred in ODI cricket history but regrets missing out on a golden opportunity to score the first triple century in this format. The 24-year-old batted fearlessly in his 10th ODI, scoring 210 runs in 131 balls with the help of 24 fours and 10 sixes. Ishan completed his double century in 126 balls, which is the fastest double century in this format. Earlier this record in men’s cricket was in the name of Chris Gayle.

He scored a 138-ball double century against Zimbabwe in the 2015 World Cup. He got out in the 36th over of the innings. With his aggressive innings, India scored a big score of 409 runs for eight wickets. Ishan said after the Indian innings that there were 15 overs (14.1 overs) left when I got out. I had a chance to score 300 runs. The left-handed batsman from Jharkhand is the fourth Indian batsman to score a double century.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma has achieved this feat thrice, while Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag have scored a double century once each. Ishan said that I am happy to hear my name among such veterans. The wicket was good enough for batting. My intention was very clear that if the ball is weak, I will hit it. Ishan played this innings in the presence of former India captain Virat Kohli at the crease. Ishan said that Virat had helped him in reducing his nervousness when he was nearing a century and a double century.

He said that I was batting with Virat bhai, and he was telling me against which bowlers to be aggressive. When I was on 95, I wanted to complete my century with a six, but he said that this is my first century, so let me complete it by taking one or two runs without taking any risk. Ishan is very close to Suryakumar Yadav and Suryakumar advised him to take some batting practice before the start of the match. Ishan said, “I spoke to Surya bhai. He told that if you do batting practice before the match, then after landing at the crease, you can see the ball better. I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity without taking too much pressure.
