India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his remarkable rise in international cricket by achieving a major ODI milestone, surpassing several established Indian batting stars in the process. The young left-hander reached the landmark during India's third One-Day International against Afghanistan, further strengthening his reputation as one of the country's brightest cricketing talents. His latest feat came as he played another impactful innings at the top of the order.
Jaiswal scored a blistering century in the match, helping India maintain complete control of the chase. His innings was marked by aggressive stroke play and a high scoring rate, allowing the hosts to race toward their target. The knock added another chapter to an impressive start to his ODI career, with the batter consistently delivering strong performances whenever given an opportunity.
According to the record, Jaiswal became the fastest Indian batter to score two ODI hundreds. He achieved the milestone in just six innings, moving ahead of several notable names in Indian cricket history. The accomplishment placed him ahead of former opener Shikhar Dhawan, who took seven innings, while legends such as Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli required more matches to reach the same mark.
