An international cricket star enjoys the food at a Kent restaurant so much that he has visited four times in one week.<\/p>\n
Yashasvi Jaiswal has even signed two bats for head chef Fiona Sing at Amici in Ashford.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old is the third youngest cricketer in test history to have two double centuries to his name – and has a staggering 4.5 million followers on Instagram, more than England captain Ben Stokes.<\/p>\n
A chuffed Ms Sing told KentOnline: \u201cBoth bats are my son\u2019s. One was reconditioned and gifted by my brother who plays cricket for a club in Cornwall.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clearly keen on the North Street Italian restaurant\u2019s cuisine, Mr Jaiswal had visited it for the fourth time in a week when he gave the autographs.<\/p>\n
The Indian A team is staying at the Ashford International Hotel while it competes against the England Lions.<\/p>\n
This is in a four-day match from last Friday to tomorrow (Monday) at the Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence in Canterbury.<\/p>\n

Yashasvi Jaiswal gained particular prominence last year when he scored double centuries in two consecutive matches against England in a five-match test series.<\/p>\n
He is the third Indian batsman to achieve this.<\/p>\n
He plays for the Rajasthan Royals, who are currently ninth in the Indian Premier League.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An international cricket star enjoys the food at a Kent restaurant so much that he has visited four…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":149876,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[605,606,1406,609,495,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-149875","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-ashford","9":"tag-canterbury","10":"tag-cricket","11":"tag-human-interest","12":"tag-kent","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114609043837622312","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=149875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/149875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/149876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=149875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=149875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=149875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
