India vs England, 3rd Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal becomes first Indian to hit two double hundreds vs England-The third Test between India and England witnessed a young star shining brighter than ever. Yashasvi Jaiswal, the 22-year-old opening batsman, etched his name in history by becoming the first Indian to score two double centuries against England in Test cricket.

Jaiswal's dominance began in the second Test at Visakhapatnam, where he unleashed a magnificent 227. He carried that form into the Rajkot Test, defying back spasms and England's bowling attack to notch up another double ton – a majestic 214 not out. This feat not only put him in the record books but also propelled India towards a commanding position in the match.

His innings were a masterclass in attacking elegance. He mixed powerful drives with deft flicks and cuts, peppering the boundary with 12 sixes – equaling Wasim Akram's record for most sixes in a Test innings. His fearless approach and ability to bat for long durations put immense pressure on the English bowlers.

Jaiswal's achievement becomes even more significant considering its rarity. Only a handful of batsmen have achieved this feat against any single opposition, with legendary names like Inzamam-ul-Haq and Kumar Sangakkara gracing the list. Joining such esteemed company speaks volumes about the young prodigy's potential.

This knock also sparked comparisons to greats like Vinod Kambli and Virat Kohli, who previously managed back-to-back double centuries for India. Jaiswal's age and maturity at the crease suggest he could follow in their footsteps and become a mainstay in the Indian Test line-up for years to come.

While the series against England is still underway, Jaiswal's performance has already sparked excitement and hope for Indian cricket fans. His hunger for runs, combined with his technical ability and temperament, makes him a player to watch out for. The future of Indian Test batting undoubtedly looks bright with Jaiswal at the helm.
