In a spectacular display of cricketing prowess, Yashasvi Jaiswal stole the limelight during the first-day play of the Vizag Test against England, smashing a sensational century at the Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium. The young Indian prodigy exhibited a breathtaking array of strokes, leaving spectators in awe of his talent.

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s unyielding onslaught

Choosing to bat first after winning the toss, India’s opening pair, Yashasvi and Rohit Sharma set a solid foundation. While Rohit took a cautious approach, Jaiswal unleashed his aggressive style, capitalizing on loose deliveries from the English bowlers. Despite the early dismissal of Rohit, falling victim to debutant Shoaib Bashir, Jaiswal remained unfazed, continuing his onslaught alongside Shubman Gill (34).

What made his century even more special was the audacious manner in which he reached the milestone – with a powerful six that showcased his fearlessness at the crease.
