Team India’s England tour has become historic with every match. The batsmen have shown so much that records have been made on records. Indian batsmen have dominated the opposing bowlers by hitting a century on a century. In this episode, India has done an act which was recorded in the name of Australia for decades. In the second innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s century has brought India to this special stage.
Yashasvi Jaiswal gave India equal to the historic record by scoring a brilliant century in the second innings of the fifth and final Test against England. With this century, India has equaled Australia’s 70 -year -old record to score the most centuries in a Test series.
In 1955, Australia scored a total of 12 centuries in 5 Tests on the West Indies tour. Now India has also completed 12 centuries in 5 matches in the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. In this series, Shubman Gill scored the highest number of 4 centuries (147, 269, 161, 103). Jaiswal (101, 118*), KL Rahul (137, 100) and Rishabh Pant (134, 118) have scored two centuries each. Ravindra Jadeja (107*) and Washington Sundar (101*) have also touched three points once.
Although Pakistan and South Africa had once scored 12-12 centuries in a Test series at their home grounds, India has done this on foreign land.
