Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his fine run in the first overseas Tests with a brilliant hundred against England at Headingley on Day 1 of the first Test on Friday, June 20. Jaiswal brought up his fifth Test hundred and his third against England in a knock that showed maturity and controlled aggression to put India in a strong position. This made Jaiswal the first overseas player to score a hundred in Australia and England in his maiden innings.
This was also Jaiswal’s fourth hundred in five first Tests outside India as he had started off with a hundred on debut against the West Indies in Dominica and went on to hit 171. He was unable to continue the form in his first outing in South Africa as he was dismissed for 17 and 5 in the rainbow nation.
In Australia, during the Perth Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Jaiswal was dismissed for a duck but bounced back and scored 161 runs to guide India to a memorable win. Now, he has put India in a commanding spot with his incredible hundred.
Yashasvi Jaiswal: Scores in first overseas Tests
