At the Dr. YSR ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam, Yashasvi Jaiswal showcased his brilliance, earning accolades from none other than cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar. The southpaw's stellar performance in the ongoing second Test against England has left fans in awe.

Despite India grappling with the absence of key players like Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Ravindra Jadeja, Jaiswal emerged as a beacon of hope. The 22-year-old left-hander, closely monitored by Tendulkar, notched up a magnificent century, steering India's innings with a mix of elegant strokes and powerful sixes.

Jaiswal's journey in the series has been a testament to his growth as a player. Learning from the past, he rectified his mistakes from the opening Test in Hyderabad, where he fell short of a century. In Visakhapatnam, he displayed remarkable discipline, reaching the coveted three-figure mark with a thunderous six off Tom Hartley's delivery.

This marks Jaiswal's second Test century, with his debut century against West Indies in 2023. His innings of 179 runs so far, adorned with 17 fours and 5 sixes, not only delighted fans but also drew praise from Sachin Tendulkar. The cricket icon, ecstatic at witnessing the young talent's success, bestowed his blessings upon Jaiswal and wished him luck in his future endeavours.

India, currently trailing 0-1 in the five-match Test series, made strategic changes in their playing eleven for the Vizag Test. Debutant Rajat Patidar, along with Kuldeep Yadav and Mukesh Kumar, replaced KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, and Mohammed Siraj, respectively.

As the day 1 concluded, India stood at 336/6, with Jaiswal unbeaten at a formidable 179*. The southpaw's partnership with Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, and Rajat Patidar showcased resilience, despite a few setbacks. Jaiswal's century, achieved in 151 balls, adds him to the prestigious list of Indian players who have reached a hundred with a six in Test cricket.

Ravichandran Ashwin, known for his ability with both bat and ball, stood firm at the crease with 5* alongside Jaiswal.

Day 2 promises to be a riveting continuation, with fans eagerly awaiting Jaiswal's potential double century.
