Yashasvi Jaiswal has scored the first century of his ODI career. This century of Jaiswal came in the third ODI match against South Africa, in which he completed his century in 111 balls. Jaiswal played 75 balls to complete his fifty, while he scored the next fifty runs in 35 balls. Jaiswal has now become the sixth Indian to score a century in all three formats.

Indians who scored centuries in all three formats

Yashasvi Jaiswal has earlier scored centuries in T20 and Test cricket also. Now in the fourth match of his ODI career, he has also achieved the feat of scoring an ODI century. Before this, only 5 Indian batsmen have been able to score centuries in all three formats. Only their names Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Suresh Raina and Shubman Gill were able to do this. Jaiswal is the sixth Indian to do so.

He opened with Rohit Sharma in the third ODI match played in Visakhapatnam. Together they made a partnership of 155 runs. Jaiswal was able to score only 40 runs in both the matches of the current series. Ultimately, he capitalized on the opportunity and scored a century in the third and last match. He got a chance to open in the ODI team in the absence of injured Shubman Gill.

There were flops in the last 2 matches

Yashasvi Jaiswal was able to score 18 and 22 runs respectively in the first two ODI matches of South Africa. In the third ODI match, he exercised patience and completed his fifty in a very slow manner, playing 75 balls. After that he increased the pace and completed the next 50 runs in 35 balls. In this match, Jaiswal played an inning of 116 runs in 121 balls.

Many big names are out of the Indian Squad of Asia Cup 2025. The stormy opening batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal is not in the 15 -member Squad Asia Cup. At the same time, despite being in excellent form, Shreyas Iyer has not got a place in the team. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar and captain Suryakumar Yadav announced Team India by holding a press conference. In this press conference, Ajit Agarkar told why Jaiswal and Iyer were not elected.

Why did I not chosen Iyer-Jayaswal?

On the selection of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shreyas Iyer, Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar said, “It is very unfortunate for Yashasvi Jaiswal that Abhishek Sharma is doing very well, he can also bowl when he falls. One of them had to be out. Shreyas Iyer will say

Shreyas Iyer’s fault

Ajit Agarkar said about Shreyas Iyer, “There is no mistake of Shreyas Iyer in the lack of selection in the team. I respect him, but whose place he could take, there is no mistake in him or not.”

Shreyas Iyer has not played any T20 match since December 2023, but his recent figures in the white ball format could prove him to be the trump card of Team India in the Asia Cup. Iyer has so far scored 1,104 runs in a 51 -match T20 career at an average of 30.67.

Jaiswal is in standby players

Yashasvi Jaiswal may not have made a place in the 15 -member squad due to team combination, but he has got a place in five standby players. If a player does not play in the tournament due to injury or any other reason, Jaiswal or any other standby player can get a chance to play in the Asia Cup.

Indian Squad for Asia Cup: Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Shubman Gill (Vice -captain), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Verma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Akshar Patel, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Jaspreet Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakraborty, Kuldeep Yadav, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Harshit Rana, Rinku Singh.
