India batter Ishan Kishan hit the fastest double century in one-day international history by smashing a sublime 210 against Bangladesh in Chattogram yesterday.

India made 409 for 8 in 50 overs.

Kishan took just 126 balls to reach 200, breaking the previous record for men’s and women’s cricket held by New Zealand’s Amelia Kerr.

Kerr reached the mark off 134 balls against Ireland in 2018.

West Indies opener Chris Gayle held the previous men’s record, taking 138 deliveries against Zimbabwe in 2015.

The 24-year-old Kishan is also the youngest man to achieve the feat.
