Yashasvi Jaiswal added another feather in his brief Test career on Sunday in the third Test match between India and England in Rajkot. The opening batter - who got retired hurt on Day 3 - returned to the crease to convert his third century into a 150.

Interestingly, all three test centuries scored by Yashasvi Jaiswal have been converted into at least 150. The youngster has already smashed this English bowling lineup with a double century, and he could easily redo the wonders at Rajkot's Niranjan Shah Stadium. 

The Mumbaikar - who opened the innings with captain Rohit Sharma - was cautious upfront, scoring his first 50 runs off 80 deliveries, but as Day 3 was coming towards his fag-end, Jaiswal switched his geared to complete his century in a jiffy. However, he had to retire hurt himself due to reoccurring back spasms. 

Although Shubman Gill's unfortunate dismissal at 91 made sure Jaiswal came to the middle inside the first hour of Day 4 - which worked as a charm for the young opener.

Meanwhile, in the ongoing knock, the 22-year-old has already tonked 10 maximums in his knock - the most by an Indian batter, breaking Navjot Singh Sindhu's record of 8 maximums. 

After accomplishing his 150, Jaiswal took the matter into his own hands, smacking the great James Anderson for his successive maximums. At the time of publishing, Team India is 476 runs ahead in the game; meanwhile, Jaiswal is batting at 180*.
