Yashasvi Jaiswal Trails Only Sachin Tendulkar In Test Hundreds At 23, Heralding a New Era of Indian Batting Greatness

Mumbai, October 10 (TNA) Yashasvi Jaiswal, at just 23 years of age, stands second only to cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar in terms of most Test hundreds scored by an Indian cricketer at this age. Jaiswal has already scored 7 Test centuries, surpassing greats like Ravi Shastri and matching early milestones of Tendulkar, showcasing his rise as one of India’s brightest young batting talents.

His recent century at The Oval against England marked a crucial comeback, earning praise from Sachin Tendulkar himself, who lauded Yashasvi’s courage and concentration on a challenging pitch. Jaiswal’s innings have demonstrated maturity and consistency beyond his years, indicating his vast potential to become one of India’s greats in the making.

With 7 centuries by age 23, he trails only Tendulkar, who set the benchmark with 8 centuries at the same age, cementing Jaiswal’s status as a future cornerstone of Indian Test cricket. In comparison to Sachin Tendulkar’s early career, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s achievements mirror the legendary cricketer’s rapid rise and maturity in Test cricket.

Tendulkar made his Test debut at the exceptionally young age of 16 and quickly made his mark by scoring his first century against England in 1990, becoming the youngest Indian to achieve this milestone.

By age 23, Tendulkar had amassed 8 Test hundreds, showcasing remarkable composure and adaptability against diverse international bowling attacks, including prolific centuries in Australia. Jaiswal, with 7 Test hundreds at the same age, is closely following Tendulkar’s footsteps, demonstrating similar temperament and consistency, suggesting he could potentially match or even surpass Tendulkar’s illustrious record in the years ahead.
