Indian cricket team opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal Announced a return to form on the first day of the second Test against west indies At Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. After a modest score of 36 in the first Test of the series, Jaiswal’s aggressive but composed innings helped India take control of the match. The 23-year-old left-handed batsman scored a century in 145 balls with the help of 16 fours, which sent a wave of joy among the fans and he once again reached the pinnacle of Indian cricket. His impressive achievement puts him in an elite category of young Indian batsmen who have made a significant impact in the longest format.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has joined the elite list of greats with a brilliant century in Delhi.
With this century, Jaiswal now has seven Test centuries to his name and is just behind him. Sachin Tendulkar In the list of most centuries scored by an Indian batsman at such a young age. Only cricket legends like it Don Bradman And gary sobers Cross his number. The current list is as follows:
- Don Bradman – 12 centuries
- Sachin Tendulkar – 11 centuries
- Gary Sobers โ 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 batsmen. His previous home century came in the 2024 series against England, when he recorded monumental scores of 209 and 214*. Although he has crossed the fifty mark on several occasions since then, Jaiswal struggled to convert starts into big centuries, making this innings all the more important.
Yashasvi’s foreign record is excellent
Apart from his domestic successes, Jaiswal has also proved his worth in challenging overseas conditions. He has scored two centuries in England, one in Australia and the other in the West Indies, highlighting his adaptability and skill against diverse bowling attacks. With 2,348 runs in 26 Test matches at an impressive average of 52.17, Jaiswal has shown remarkable consistency and maturity in his approach, promising a bright future for Indian cricket.
India won the toss and chose to bat first in Delhi. KL RahulOpening with Jaiswal, the West Indies spinner was out for 38 after being stumped by Warrican. However, Jaiswal’s calm but aggressive innings took over the Indian innings and ensured that the team did not lose momentum. His century helped India dominate the first day, setting the stage for a potentially huge lead and putting the visitors under immense pressure.
