Overview:
He is the sixth Indian batter to amass a ton across formats in international cricket. Yashasvi has joined the likes of Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was included in Team India for the ODI series against South Africa, scored his maiden hundred in the third ODI in Vizag. The southpaw failed in the first two matches but showed his class in the final contest of the assignment.
He completed his century in 111 balls, laced with 10 fours and 1 six. Jaiswal celebrated aggressively and was congratulated by Virat Kohli. Rohit Sharma also applauded the young batter from the dressing room.
He is the sixth Indian batter to amass a ton across formats in international cricket. Yashasvi has joined the likes of Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill. The Mumbai-based batter shared a 155-run first-wicket partnership with Rohit, who accumulated 75 runs off 73 balls, with the help of 7 boundaries and 3 sixes.
Yashasvi, who has cemented his place in the Test team, hasn’t been given enough chances in white-ball cricket. He has been sensational for the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League, but the team management has preferred Gill and Sanju Samson over him.
He has played just 4 ODIs and 23 T20Is for the Men in Blue so far. With his hundred, there is a possibility of the selectors giving him more opportunities in the shorter formats of the game.
