Vinod Kambli holds the distinction of being the youngest Indian to score a double ton, also against England, at the age of 21 years and 335 days back in 1993. The record for the second youngest Indian double centurion in Tests is also held by Kambli, who smashed it against Zimbabwe at the age 21 years and 355 days.
