Team India’s young batting sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal once again proved his class and temperament in red-ball cricket. The left-handed opener scored a magnificent century against West Indies in the ongoing second Test match in Delhi, lighting up the stadium with his elegant stroke play and solid technique. This knock marked his first century of the series and seventh in Test cricket, a remarkable achievement for a player aged just 23.
A Strong Comeback After Ahmedabad Test
After a rare failure in the opening Test at Ahmedabad, Yashasvi made a strong comeback in Delhi. From the very beginning, he looked determined and confident, timing the ball beautifully on both sides of the wicket. His innings was a perfect blend of patience and aggression, showing his growing maturity as a Test cricketer.
Yashasvi’s Record-Breaking Feat – 7 Centuries, 7 Venues
Interestingly, Jaiswal’s seventh Test century continued an extraordinary pattern — all seven of his Test hundreds have come at different venues.
Here’s a look at his century journey so far:
- 1st Century: 171 vs West Indies at Windsor Park, Dominica
- 2nd Century: 200 vs England at Visakhapatnam
- 3rd Century: 214 vs England at Rajkot
- 4th Century: 112 vs Australia at Perth
- 5th Century: 101 vs England at Leeds
- 6th Century: 118 vs England at The Oval
- 7th Century: 107 vs West Indies at Delhi (current Test)
This unique record underlines Yashasvi’s adaptability across different conditions and pitches around the world.
Following in Sachin’s Footsteps
At just 23, Yashasvi Jaiswal has already achieved what many seasoned players dream of. With seven Test centuries to his name, he now trails only Sachin Tendulkar in terms of most Test hundreds scored by an Indian before the age of 24. His calmness at the crease and hunger for big runs have drawn comparisons with some of India’s greatest openers.
During this knock, Yashasvi also reached another major milestone by completing 3000 international runs, with over half of them coming in Test cricket — a testament to his consistency in the longest format.
