17-year-old Yashasvi Jaiswal registered his name into the record books by smashing a 149-ball double hundred against Jharkhand in the Vijay Hazare Trophy fixture on Wednesday. He became the youngest double centurion in List A cricket.
The Mumbai batsman, who made his List A debut in the ongoing 2019-20 season, has been in fine form. Prior to this match in Bengaluru, he had scored two centuries against Goa and Kerala.
The left-hander smashed 17 fours and 12 sixes during his scintillating knock. He was eventually caught by Rahul Shukla off Vivek Tiwari for 203 (154) in the last over of Mumbai’s innings.
Jaiswal’s knock left Twitterati in awe. The netizens couldn’t stop heaping praises and appreciation on the teenager.
Here’s how Twitter reacted:
Yashasvi Jaiswal at 17 years 192 days became the youngest to score a double hundred in List A cricket.
He scored it for Mumbai v Jharkhand at Alur today. As a youngster he stayed in his club tent for 3 yrs. Also sold Pani-Puri during Ramlila in the Azad Maidan#VijayHazareTrophy— Sarang Bhalerao (@bhaleraosarang) October 16, 2019

Yashasvi Jaiswal was in the radar of all IPL teams at last year’s auction but a couple of them felt it was too early and he needed more power. Think the message has reached him. Hopefully he has done enough to get a deal this year. #VijayHazareTrophy #IPLwatch

Another World Record!!!
Yashasvi Jaiswal's 504 runs are the most by ANY batsman in his first five List A innings. Previous record was held by South African legend Graeme Pollock with 493 runs. #VijayHazare #VijayHazareTrophy— Rajneesh Gupta (@rgcricket) October 16, 2019

Yashasvi Jaiswal reaches his maiden double ton in the List A format against Jharkhand in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy. It came off 149 balls with 17 fours and 12 sixes. The youngest to reach the landmark in list A cricket. Amazing this.

Terrific double century by Mumbai’s Yashasvi Jaiswal against Jharkhand off just 149 balls. Third three-figure mark in four games for the 17-year-old. The youngest Indian to score List-A double. #VijayHazare #Mumbai @THMumbai @TheHinduSports
