Yashasvi Jaiswal Enters Record Books with Stunning Performance Against West Indies
Jaiswal’s Historic Century in New Delhi
India’s rising star, Yashasvi Jaiswal, etched his name into the annals of cricket history with a breathtaking performance on the first day of the second Test against the West Indies at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Scoring his seventh Test century at just 23 years old, Jaiswal demonstrated why he is considered one of the most promising talents in the sport. This achievement cements his status as one of the youngest Indian cricketers to reach such a milestone, surpassing legends like Virat Kohli and Sunil Gavaskar.
Joining an Elite League of Cricketers
Jaiswal’s ton against the Windies places him in an elite group of cricketers who have scored the most Test hundreds before turning 24. This distinguished list includes the iconic Sir Don Bradman with 12 centuries, the legendary Sachin Tendulkar with 11, and the magnificent Sir Garfield Sobers with 9. Among Indian players, Tendulkar is the only other cricketer to have achieved a similar feat before the age of 24. Jaiswal now stands shoulder-to-shoulder with celebrated international players like Javed Miandad, Graeme Smith, Sir Alastair Cook, and Kane Williamson, each having seven centuries to their name by this age.
