IND vs ENG: Yashasvi Jaiswal Joins Tendulkar and Gavaskar in Elite List After Leeds Century
Yashasvi Jaiswal joins Tendulkar, Gavaskar with 3 overseas Test tons before age 24; shines in India vs England Test
Yashasvi Jaiswal continues to make headlines in Test cricket. The young left-handed opener has now joined two Indian greats, Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar, in a rare and iconic list.
At just 23 years of age, Jaiswal now has three overseas Test centuries, putting him among the finest Indian batters in red-ball cricket at this age.
Most Overseas Test Centuries for India (Age 23 and below):
7 – Sachin Tendulkar
4 – Sunil Gavaskar
3 – Yashasvi Jaiswal*
The young batter achieved this milestone during the first Test of five match series against England at Headingley, Leeds, where he scored a well-crafted century on Day 1. His knock not only gave India a strong start but also etched his name alongside two of the biggest icons in Indian cricket history.
Jaiswal’s growth in Test cricket has been remarkable. After making his debut in early 2023, the opener has already shown his class in overseas conditions.
His overseas centuries include one each in the West Indies, South Africa, and now England, which shows his adaptability and hunger to perform on big stages.
