Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a century in the Leeds Test, broke many records

Team India's young batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal has started the England tour in a very explosive manner. He has scored a century in the first innings of the Leeds Test. He completed his century in 144 balls.

In the first match of the five-Test series against England, India's young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal performed brilliantly at Headingley Leeds and scored another century of his Test career. In the first innings of this Test, which started on 20 June 2025, Jaiswal gave a lesson to the England bowlers with his understanding and technical batting. His innings not only gave India a strong start, but also showed his important role on the England tour.

On the challenging pitch of Headingley, England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and decided to bowl first, which was in his favor considering the recent record of this ground. But Yashasvi Jaiswal proved this decision wrong with his batting. Jaiswal, who came to open the innings with KL Rahul, showed sensible play from the beginning. He faced the swing bowling of England bowlers very well and proved his technique.

Yashasvi Jaiswal took 144 balls to reach the century, which included 16 fours and 1 six. Let us tell you, this is Jaiswal's sixth match against England, and the special thing is that he has scored 50+ runs in every Test against this team. Earlier, he has also scored 2 double centuries against England. At the same time, this was his first Test match in England and he managed to score a century in this match.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has made a special record with this century. He has become the first Indian opener to score a century at Leeds. Before this, no Indian opener could achieve this feat. This is only the 20th match of Yashasvi Jaiswal's Test career and he has scored 5 centuries so far. Out of these, he has scored 3 centuries outside India.
