Yashasvi Jaiswal is rapidly cementing his status as a Test match star. After smashing a stunning century on debut in Perth against Australia, the young left-hander has repeated the feat - this time on English soil at Headingley. Despite battling repeated cramps in his right forearm, Jaiswal displayed remarkable resilience to bring up his fifth Test hundred.

The milestone came off a delivery from Brydon Carse — a good-length ball on off-stump. Jaiswal stayed back and gently guided it toward point before setting off for a single. As soon as he completed the run, he tore off his helmet, raised his arm high, let out a roaring cheer, and punched the air in jubilation.

Hundreds for India in maiden Test innings in England

  • 146 – M. Vijay, Trent Bridge, 2014
  • 133 – Vijay Manjrekar, Headingley, 1952

  • 129* – Sandeep Patil, Old Trafford, 1982
  • 100* – Yashasvi Jaiswal, Headingley, 2025

Fans React to Yashasvi Jaiswal's Hundred

Jaiswal has developed a knack for delivering in series openers. He smashed a ton in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy last year — and now he’s done it again. Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to celebrate, declaring that "Jaisball" is the answer to England's "Bazball."

One said, "He has done it in Aus. Now done it in England too… What a player."

Another said, "A Test match hundred in England in his very first innings. Hats off to his talent — a generational guy!"

One wrote, "THE ANSWER FOR BAZBALL IS JAISBALL."

Another wrote, "Yashasvi Jaiswal is built different. Pure class, pure intent — welcome to Jaisball in England."
