Yashasvi Jaiswal breaks Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill's massive ODI record
Meanwhile, Yashasvi became the fastest Indian batter to score two ODI centuries, reaching the milestone in only his sixth innings. With this achievement, Jaiswal went past several big names in Indian cricket. Former opener Shikhar Dhawan had taken seven innings to score his second ODI hundred, while Kedar Jadhav reached the mark in nine innings.
Interestingly, Virat Kohli needed 17 innings to register his second ODI century, while even current captain Shubman Gill achieved the feat in 18 innings.
Yashasvi Jaiswal reveals secret behind his match-winning century in Chennai
After the Chennai encounter, Jaiswal said that whenever he got the start, he always tried to capitalize, and he did the same in the final ODI against Afghanistan in Chennai.
Jaiswal said at the post-match presentation: “Yes, I think I've been lucky, so I'm just trying to convert if I get the start. As I have seen, like in sports and in cricket, especially, when it is your day, make it count."
"So, I try to do that. Because of a lot of experience, I had recently that I was trying, but things were not going my way. But I was very determined today that I just need to keep my focus in and just keep trying to rotate the strikes. And if I get in, I'll just make it count.”
