Yashasvi Jaiswal's wonderful performance in the form of a brilliant hundred totally lit up the Arun Jaitley Stadium as India enjoyed the tastes of control at the opening day of the Second Test against the West Indies. The young opener brought up his seventh Test hundred in a mere 145 balls and continued his excellent run in red-ball cricket. After lunch, Jaiswal came out with great intent and hammered Jayden Seales for three crisp boundaries in the first over. Balance was once again on display between aggression and patience proving why he tops the trunk of most reliable Test openers. Achieved historic feat before turning 24 💯 CENTURY FOR YASHASVI JAISWAL! pic.twitter.com/IRpEzbqaPs — CricketGully (@thecricketgully) October 10, 2025 It was special for Jaiswal; this was his seventh Test hundred before the age of 24, a record that has so far been bettered by only three cricketing legends - Don Bradman (12), Sachin Tendulkar (11), and Garfield Sobers (9). Thus, Jaiswal joins the elite list of Javed Miandad, Graeme Smith, Alastair Cook, and Kane Williamson, all of whom also had seven hundreds at the same age. Since Jaiswal's debut, the Indian opening pair weighted mostly on Jaiswal's form, during this period; exclusively by Jaiswal, there have been seven hundreds, while all the other Indian openers together have attained just six, followed by England's Ben Duckett (four) among the global openers. The opener, carrying a habit of turning centuries into daddy hundreds, went on to score 150 in the final session of Day 1. This is the second time when Jaiswal completed 150 on the opening Day of the Test in India. Previously, the southpaw did the same against England in Vizag in 2024. Also, this is Jaiswal's 5th 150+ score out of his seven Test hundreds. He is only behind the legendary Sir Don Bradman who had eight 150+ scores before turning 24.

He became the fourth Indian left-handed opener to do so after Sourav Ganguly, Gautam Gambhir, and Shikhar Dhawan. Jaiswal, alongwith Sai Sudharsan, constructed a vital 193-run stand that steadied the innings of India post the early dismissal of KL Rahul for 32. Sudharsan scored 87 off 165 balls before losing his wicket to Warrican. Shubman Gill, captaining India in the first home Test, earlier won the toss and opted to bat. The openers provided a sturdy platform, and Jaiswal ensured that India remained on top through controlled strokes. While he has been absent from the recent T20 selections, Jaiswal's century in Delhi again proved to everyone how mature, calm, and hungry for runs he is. When raising his bat in acknowledgment of cheers from the crowd, it was a stadium in celebration of a player about to develop into one of India's brightest young stars.
