India’s rising cricket star, Yashasvi Jaiswal, set the cricketing world abuzz with his remarkable double century during the second Test match against England at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. The young batter’s exceptional performance on Day 2 left fans and pundits in awe.
Swift rise to a milestone
Starting the day with an overnight score of 179, Yashasvi wasted no time in reaching his maiden double century. In the 102nd over of India’s innings, he unleashed a barrage of boundaries against debutant Shoaib Bashir, culminating in a powerful six that marked his achievement of the monumental milestone.
Record-breaking feat
Yashasvi’s double century not only showcased his immense talent but also secured his place in the annals of Indian cricket history. At the age of 22 years and 36 days, he became the third youngest Indian to achieve this feat in Test cricket, following in the footsteps of legends like Vinod Kambli and Sunil Gavaskar.
Youngest double centurions for India in Tests:
- 21y 32d & 21y 54d – Vinod Kambli 1994
- 21y 277d – Sunil Gavaskar 1971
- 22y 36d – Yashavi Jaiswal 2024
- 23y 34d – Mak Pataudi 1964
- 24y 142d – Sanjay Manjrekar 1989
Joining elite company
Yashasvi’s achievement also puts him in esteemed company in terms of the fewest innings taken to reach a maiden double century for India. With only ten innings to his name, he joins the ranks of illustrious players like Karun Nair, Kambli, Gavaskar, Mayank Agarwal, and Cheteshwar Pujara.

His off side strokeplay and lofted shots are a sight to behold. But what impresses me the most about this young man is his hunger for runs. A vital knock in the context of the series, very well played @ybj_19 👏🏽 #INDvENG pic.twitter.com/xy7mU4opqf

It was probably going to be Anderson's last over. Maybe Jaiswal could have played him out and attacked the spinners. But what an innings. On a dream batting surface, the next best is 34. Without Jaiswal, it might have been very very tricky.
