Khary Pierre to Jaiswal, 2 runs, that’s century number seven for Yashasvi Jaiswal in Test cricket! What a player he’s turning out to be in this format. An overall average close to 50, close to 65 at home, and an average of almost 100 against the West Indies - those are elite numbers by any standard. He took his time early on, respected the conditions, and once he got his eye in, it has been another masterclass. Has found gaps with precision, has used his feet beautifully, and made sure to cash in on every loose delivery. One of Jaiswal’s standout traits - once he’s in, he rarely lets the bowlers off the hook. Brings up the milestone with a gentle flick through backward square leg and with this hundred, he’s not just set the tone for India but also laid the foundation for a massive first-innings total. Takes off his helmet, raises his bat and blows a few kisses to the Delhi crowd
