In only 231 balls, Yashavi Jaiswal achieved his double hundred during the post-tea session. Soon after Sarfaraz Khan scored his second fifty-plus wicket in his first Test match, the historic moment occurred.

During the second Test of the series, Yashasvi Jaiswal struck a game-winning 209 against England at Visakhapatnam. In the previous Test, he had became the third-youngest Indian batter to smash a double century. After a nine-day break, Yashasvi resumed his remarkable rhythm in the series with the important Rajkot Test.

During the first innings in the third Test, Yashasvi Jaiswal was out for ten runs, but he recovered and contributed another significant blow. Yashasvi's versatility in showcasing his range and numerous gears was the highlight of his double hundred in Rajkot.ย 

Yashasvi began his innings carefully, but on Sunday he displayed amazing power-hitting to prove that he is just as good in limited overs as he is in Test cricket. On Sunday, Yashasvi Jaiswal was the very first Indian batter with two double hundreds during a Test series against England, creating a new Indian record.

Yashasvi, who was injured on Saturday and had to be retired, came back to bat early on Sunday morning to continue his innings. In just 87 balls, he and debutant Sarfaraz Khan put up a rapid 100 runs together. Yashasvi ensured that India was heading for a 500-run lead during the second innings, despite the hosts losing a well-positioned Shubman Gill to an unlucky run-out at 91 runs.

More records broken by Yashasvi Jaiswal

As Yashasvi reached 10 during the second session of Day 4, he also surpassed the Indian mark for most sixes in an innings during a Test match. A record achieved by legendary batter Navjot Singh Sidhu for thirty years was broken by him.

Chasing a double-hundred, Yashasvi Jaiswal tore into James Anderson during the 85th over in the Indian second innings, striking the renowned fast bowler for three straight sixes. Yashasvi smacked one ball over the mid-wicket stand, one to long-on, and another over the covers with a look of contempt in his eyes.
