India youngster Ishan Kishan played the best knock of his career in ODIs. Despite India’s losing the three-match series by 2-1 against Bangladesh, the third ODI saw Kishan’s absolute carnage with the bat. He slammed 24 boundaries and 10 maximums to score 210 off just 131 balls at a strike rate of 160.31.
His knock even overshadowed Virat Kohli‘s 72nd international ton, and first ODI ton after three years. Kohli went on to score 113 runs from 91 balls (with 11 fours and two sixes).
Kishan and Kohli’s knock helped India post a mammoth total of 409/8 in their allotted 50 overs on Saturday (December 10) at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram. The bowlers later did the rest of the job by restricting Litton Das & Co. to just 182 runs to win the match by a huge margin of 227 runs. No Bangladeshi batters even crossed the 50-run mark. Shakib Al Hasan scored the most for his team (43 runs off 50 balls).
Check all the records Ishan Kishan broke with his incredible knock of 210 off 131 balls.
