Young opener Yashasvi Jaiswal became the third Indian cricketer to slam a century on his maiden tour to Australia at the Optus Stadium in the opening Test of the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 on Sunday.

Jaiswal went on to score his hundred in the 61st over of the innings which was laced with eight boundaries and three maximums in his innings.

With this 100-run knock, the left-hand batter registered his name in the record book as he became the third batter from India to score a ton on his maiden tour to Australia.

The other two batters to achieve this landmark are M. L. Jaisimha who did it in the 1967-68 tour and the other player is legendary Sunil Gavaskar who did it in the 1977-78 tour.
