India decimated Bangladesh in the final ODI of the three-match series to register a comprehensive 227-run victory at the Zahur Ahmed Chaudhary Stadium here on Saturday
Virat scored his 44th ODI century against Bangladesh and went past Ricky Ponting's tally of 71 international centuries. The batter hit his 72nd international hundred and hopped onto the second position on the batter's list of most international centuries.
The left-hander smashed the fastest double-hundred in ODIs, becoming the fourth Indian to achieve the landmark. He joined the elite club featuring Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Rohit Sharma who have scored double-hundreds in ODI cricket.
"I cannot put into words what I'm feeling right now but I'll try. I'm overwhelmed by the love, the messages, the wishes. This is an innings that will stay in my heart forever, a day that I won't forget, and these moments that I'll always carry with me. Thank you for everything," wrote Ishan on Twitter.
The southpaw grabbed his opportunity to open the innings and came out all guns blazing to become only the seventh batter to smash a double century in ODIs. Kishan played a stupendous knock of 210 runs off 131 balls that was studded with 24 fours and 10 huge sixes.
