Yashasvi Jaiswal has now made it a habit of making big scores. The youngster makes sure that if he gets to a ton, it's not just another century but a daddy hundred.

The Indian opening batter had retired hurt on 104 on Day 3 but resumed his innings on Sunday and completed a fiery double hundred in the 3rd Test vs England.

After 171 in his debut Test against the West Indies last year, Jaiswal smashed 209 in the 2nd Test vs England in Vizag. He proved that it wasn't just a flash in the pan and backed it up with an unbeaten 214 in Rajkot.

His innings was laced with 14 fours and 12 maximums. With that, Jaiswal equalled the world record of smashing most sixes in a Test innings and went level with Wasim Akram's feat from 1996.

His super innings helped India declare their 2nd innings at 430/3 and set England a mammoth target of 557.

Jaiswal is the highest run-getter of this Test series with 545 runs at a whopping average of 109. No one is even near the left handed opener.
