Team India managed to pull off a dominating win in the third and final ODI match against Bangladesh in Chattogram on Saturday, December 10. It was opener Ishan Kishan’s 210-run knock that became the highlight of the 50-over contest. Former India cricketer Ajay Jadeja lavished massive praise on the 24-year-old as he drew his comparison with teammate Suryakumar Yadav. The latter has flourished into becoming one of the finest batters in recent times and has relished a terrific year in 2022.
Ishan Kishan played a flamboyant knock
During a chat on Sony Sports, Ajay Jadeja said, “This generation has grown on this. They are in any case comfortable doing this, but to carry that for such a long time, we see that very less in this generation. Everyone plays such shots these days, don’t call only Suryakumar Yadav Mr. 360.”
He further added, “He is Mr. 361 because he plays 360-degree and scores a double hundred. He also scored in front of and behind the wickets. This generation has the shot-making ability but the ability to take that innings so long, very people have that what he showed.”

Ishan broke Chris Gayle’s record for the fastest ODI double century which was also his maiden ton in 50-over cricket. Ajay Jadeja was left impressed by the young sensation’s mentality when Ishan said he wanted to hit the gear and score a triple ton.
Describing the same, Ajay Jadeja said, “It is impressive thinking, whether he was thinking at the time or not, but now he is saying that 15 overs were left and he missed a 300. Nothing happens without thinking, you have to dream. These are good signs because when we saw him for the first time, he said that he had told beforehand that he will hit a six. Now when he has come, it has been 10 matches only, but he spoke like a mature guy.”
