NEW DELHI: Young India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his exceptional form by notching his second century of the series during the third Test against England in Rajkot on Saturday.
Jaiswal's scintillating innings saw him race to his third career Test hundred in just 122 balls, unleashing five sixes and nine fours during his whirlwind knock. His aggressive approach at the crease propelled India's lead past the 300-run mark in the match.
The talented batsman forged a formidable 150-run partnership with Shubman Gill for the second wicket, further consolidating India's dominance in the game.
Jaiswal's stellar performance comes on the heels of his maiden double century in the second Test in Visakhapatnam, where he amassed an impressive 209 runs off 290 balls. His outstanding contributions played a pivotal role in India's resurgence in the series after a setback in the first Test in Hyderabad.
Following his exceptional century in the third Test, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a video capturing Jaiswal's jubilant celebration of the milestone.
In the video, India's dressing room can be seen giving the young batter a standing ovation, acknowledging his outstanding achievement.
