Indian cricket team opener Yashasvi jaiswal announced his return to form in style on day 1 of the second test against West Indies at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. After a modest score of 36 in the first Test of the series, Jaiswal’s aggressive yet composed innings helped India maintain control of the match. The 23-year-old left-hander scored a century off 145 balls, including 16 fours, taking the fans on a rollercoaster ride and making him the toast of Indian cricket once again. His impressive performance puts him in an elite group of young Indian batsmen who have made a significant impact in the longest format.
Yashasvi Jaiswal joins the elite list of legends with a spectacular performance in Delhi
With this century, Jaiswal now has seven Test hundreds to his name, which puts him just behind Sachin Tendulkar in the list of most centuries scored by an Indian batsman at such a young age. Only cricket legends love it Don Bradman And Gary Sobers exceed his number. The current list is as follows:
- Don Bradman – 12 centuries
- Sachin Tendulkar – 11 centuries
- Gary Sobers – 9 centuries
- Yashasvi Jaiswal – 7 centuries
Jaiswal’s ability to score consistently both at home and abroad underlines his potential to become one of India’s leading Test batters. His previous home hundreds came in the 2024 series against England, when he posted monumental scores of 209 and 214*. Although he had crossed fifty several times since then, Jaiswal had struggled to convert starts into big hundreds, making these innings even more important.
Yashasvi’s impressive record abroad
In addition to his domestic successes, Jaiswal has also proven his qualities in challenging foreign conditions. He has scored two centuries in England, one in Australia and one in the West Indies, highlighting his adaptability and skill against a variety of bowling attacks. With 2,348 runs in 26 Tests and an impressive average of 52.17, Jaiswal has shown remarkable consistency and maturity in his approach, qualities that promise a bright future for Indian cricket.
India won the toss and opted to bat first in Delhi. Kl satisfiedwho opened alongside Jaiswal was dismissed for 38 after being hampered by West Indian spinner Warrican. However, Jaiswal’s calm yet aggressive innings kept the Indian innings steady and ensured that the team did not lose momentum. His century helped India dominate on the first day, paving the way for a potential big lead and putting immense pressure on the visitors.
