‘Ishan Kishan is Mr. 361 because…': Ajay Jadeja's huge 'Surykumar Yadav' comparison after double ton against Bangladesh
Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja applauded Ishan for his stunning knock which also made him the youngest cricketer to score a double century in ODIs.
Ishan Kishan has become the man of the moment in the cricket world after his blazing 210 off 131 balls against Bangladesh in the third One-Day International(ODI) on Saturday. Courtesy Ishan's fastest ever double century in ODIs, Team India scored 409/8 in 50 overs and then bowled out Bangladesh for 182 in 34 overs. The massive 227-run victory over the hosts also saw Virat Kohli slamming his 72nd ton as he scored 113 off 91 balls.
Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja applauded Ishan for his stunning knock which also made him the youngest cricketer to score a double century in ODIs. During his innings, the 24-year-old smashed runs all around the field and hit 10 massive sixes and 24 fours. Speaking during a discussion on Sony Sports, Jadeja praised Ishan and even did a comparison between him and Suryakumar Yadav.
"This generation has grown on this. They are in any case comfortable doing this, but to carry that for such a long time, we see that very less in this generation. Everyone plays such shots these days, don't call only Suryakumar Yadav Mr. 360," said Jadeja.
"He(Ishan Kishan) is Mr. 361 because he plays 360-degree and scores a double hundred. He also scored in front of and behind the wickets. This generation has the shot-making ability but the ability to take that innings so long, very people have that what he showed," added the 51-year-old.
Team India thus avoided a clean sweep by winning the third ODI against the hosts. Bangladesh secured the series 2-1 and the two nations will now battle it out in the upcoming two-match Test series. The first Test match between India and Bangladesh starts on Wednesday, December 14. There is suspense over regular captain Rohit Sharma's participation in the Test series as he is injured.
