    Digital Desk: Ishan Kishan made history on Saturday as he defeated the Bangladesh spinners in the third ODI to become the fourth Indian batsman to register a double hundred in ODIs.

    To take the place of the injured skipper Rohit Sharma, Kishan entered the game and made the most of his chance to put India in the driving position.

    The 24-year-old scored his hundred in just 85 balls before deciding to switch things up for the Chattogram crowd. In just 126 deliveries, Kishan reached the double-hundred mark, hitting 23 boundaries and 9 sixes in the knock.

    He thereby broke Chris Gayle's previous record. In just 138 deliveries against Zimbabwe during the 2015 World Cup in Australia, Gayle scored his double-century.
