ind vs aus yashasvi jaiswal scored 4th 150 plus score in test an opener gautam gambhir

Team India’s excellent performance was seen in the second innings in the Perth Test match. While credit goes to captain Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling in the first innings, equal credit goes to Yashasvi Jaiswal’s batting in the second innings. Jaiswal played a explosive inning of 161 runs in the second innings. Yashasvi, who was out without opening the account in the first innings, pulled out all the stops in the second innings. Also, Team India was put in a strong position with KL Rahul. With this, Jaiswal crossed the mark of 150 runs on the second day. During this period, he has reached a special club in his 15th Test match itself. As an opening batsman for India, he has reached the third position in terms of scoring 150+ scores most times in Test cricket.

Yashasvi has equaled Gautam Gambhir and Murali Vijay in terms of scoring 150+ scores. The record of scoring the most 150+ runs in opener Test cricket for India is in the name of Virender Sehwag. Sehwag has done this feat 14 times, while Sunil Gavaskar is at second place in this list, who has done this feat 11 times. What is noteworthy is that Jaiswal has done this 4 times in just his 15th Test.

This was Yashasvi’s fourth century in Test cricket. Whenever he has scored a century so far, he has definitely crossed the 150-run mark, which also includes two double centuries. This shows how consistently Yashasvi is batting. Yashasvi hit a total of three sixes in this innings and with this he also made the world record of hitting most sixes in Tests in a calendar year. This record was earlier held in the name of Brendon McCullum, who hit 33 sixes in 2014. Yashasvi has now overtaken him in 2024.
