23-year-old Yashasvi Jaiswal's brilliance, joins the list of legends including Sachin
New Delhi, October 10, 2025 (Special Correspondent): A wave of joy has spread in the hearts of cricket fans. In the second Test match between India and West Indies, the young opener of the Indian team, Yashasvi Jaiswal, has made everyone's eyes shine. This young man, just 23 years old, scored the seventh century of his Test career, due to which he has joined the list of legendary batsmen in the world along with Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar. In this match being played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, India won the toss and decided to bat first and Yashasvi took full responsibility for it. This century is not just a statistic, but a big relief for the future of Indian cricket.
This two-match Test series between India and West Indies is turning out to be very exciting. Although India won the first match, West Indies have a chance to repay in the second match. However, this century by Yashasvi Jaiswal has given the Indian team a strong base. Even before the match started, there was talk of the weather and the condition of the field, but Yashasvi answered all doubts with his bat. He completed his century in 145 balls and shared a formidable partnership of 193 runs with Sai Sudarshan. At the end of the first day, he was unbeaten on 173 runs after 88 overs, which makes the possibility of a double century the most talked about.
Yashasvi Jaiswal's performance is not only a milestone in the match, but also in his entire Test career. This player, who made his Test debut in 2023, has scored seven centuries in just two years. He is the third Indian player in the world to achieve this. Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar had scored 11 centuries before the age of 24, while Don Bradman had scored 12 centuries. Sir Garfield Sobers had 9 centuries, while Pakistan's Javed Miandad, South Africa's Graeme Smith, England's Alastair Cook and New Zealand's Kane Williamson had scored seven centuries each. Yashasvi has made it to the list of legends by scoring this seventh century, which is a testament to his talent.
Yashasvi has been at the top of the Indian openers' list since his debut. Since his debut, all other Indian openers have scored only six centuries together, while Yashasvi has scored seven alone. Among other players in the world, England's Ben Duckett has scored four centuries, which is less than Yashasvi's performance. These figures show that Yashasvi is not limited to numbers alone, but he is a player who has given a new direction to Indian cricket. This player, who also shone in the IPL for the Rajasthan Royals team, has also made many records in domestic cricket. This youngster, who came out of the Wing Commander Abhay Salunkhe Cricket Academy, has come out of difficult situations and achieved this success, which will inspire young cricketers.
Talking about the match, India won the toss and elected to bat first and the Yashasvi-Sai Sudarshan pair provided strong support from the beginning. The West Indies bowlers bowled aggressively at the beginning, but Yashasvi took them into their stride. His century included 20 fours and 2 sixes, which caused the field to clap. The team reached 50 runs in the first session, completed a century in the second session and increased the pace in the third session. Sai Sudarshan also scored a half-century, but Yashasvi's storming knock proved to be the turning point of the match. Yashasvi thoroughly defeated West Indies bowlers, such as Jason Holder and Alzarri Joseph. At the end of the first day, India had reached a strong position of 350 for 3.
This century is a symbol of Yashasvi's confidence. Opening in Test cricket is not easy, especially against foreign teams. But Yashasvi has performed consistently against teams like Australia, England and now the West Indies. Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar praised Yashasvi, saying, "This young man is the future of Indian cricket. He has the potential to score centuries like Sachin." Also, Sachin Tendulkar has also praised Yashasvi on social media, which has created more excitement in the hearts of cricket fans. This performance will give Yashasvi a lot of responsibility for the upcoming matches. India wants to win their last Test in Australia, and Yashasvi's storming knock will be important for that campaign. Also, it will benefit the Rajasthan Royals team in terms of IPL 2026. However, Yashasvi still needs to improve, such as increasing his strength against spin bowlers and his ability to run long.
