BAN vs IND 2022-23, 3rd ODI: Social media goes berserk as Ishan Kishan plunders fastest 200
BAN vs IND 2022-23: India is giving a hard time to Bangladesh with the bat in the final Chittagong ODI on Saturday. Ishan Kishan played a blazing knock of 131-ball 210, sending social media on fire.
FollowTeam India is somewhat demoralised after losing the three-match One-Day International (ODI) series in Bangladesh. Ahead of the third and final ODI at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chittagong/Chattogram, an injury-plagued India made some changes to its XI, bringing in wicketkeeper-opener Ishan Kishan for skipper-cum-opener Rohit Sharma. He utilised the opportunity to the fullest, to everyone's surprise, slamming 210. Incidentally, it was his maiden ODI against the side, while it was the fastest 200 in the format, in just 126 balls, which included 23 fours and nine sixes and had a strike rate of above 160.00. Consequently, social media went berserk with his knock, as India looks on course to go past 400, with Virat Kohli also slamming his 44th ODI ton.
