Jaiswal’s double hundred came a few days after Kerala’s Sanju Samson became the fastest Indian to score a double century.

 Jaiswal hits 12 sixes and 17 boundaries to score 203 runs off just 154 balls against a bowling attack that boasted of the internationally experienced Varun Aaron & Shahbaz Nadeem.
