Yashasvi Jaiswal finally has his moment. A maiden ODI hundred and he celebrates it like a man who’s been waiting to roar. The ball is short, drifting toward middle and leg, and Jaiswal shuffles across before whipping it fine. He knows instantly. Before the ball even reaches the rope, the helmet is off, fist in the air, a wide grin bursting across his face.
Look at what it means to him! 🥳

Virat Kohli is the first to charge toward him bat tap, a pat on the forehead, then a tight hug. The dressing room follows with applause, every Indian player on their feet. Even Gautam Gambhir lets a smile slip, a sight in itself.
With this knock, Jaiswal becomes only the sixth Indian to score a century in all three international formats, silencing the failures of previous matches and announcing himself again in ODI colours.
Minutes later, the veteran joins the party, Virat Kohli brings up his 76th ODI fifty, a whirlwind innings reached in just 40 balls. He looks effortless, fluent, familiar, the ODI king in his natural habitat.
Two generations, two milestones. One unforgettable night.
