Mumbai teenager Yashasvi Jaiswal on Wednesday smashed his way into the record books by becoming the youngest player to score a List-A double century. Playing in his debut Vijay Hazare season, the 17-year-old scored 203 off 154 balls, which included 12 sixes and 17 fours against a Jharkhand attack that included out-of-favor India pacer Varun Aaron and Shahbaz Nadeem. The opener's scintillating innings helped Mumbai set a mammoth target of 359 for Jharkhand in the Vijay Hazare Trophy Elite Group A match. Jaiswal has been in fine form in the tournament, scoring 113 and 122 against Kerala and Goa respectively. Meanwhile, the upcoming star has also received a huge compliment from Harsha Bhogle himself.

Yet another milestone

The opener made it the ninth instance of an Indian scoring a List A double-ton. The feat comes less than a week after Sanju Samson scored 212 not out - his first List A century - for Kerala against Goa, making it the highest individual score in the competition. He was the highest run-getter and player of the tournament at the 2018 ACC Under-19 Asia Cup which India won. He made his first-class debut for Mumbai in the 2018–19 Ranji Trophy on 7 January 2019. It remains to be seen whether he will be able to cement his place in the Indian squad for next year's ICC U-19 World Cup which will be held in South Africa where India will be defending their title and will also bid to win their record fifth U-19 trophy.
