171 vs West Indies (Roseau, 2023)
Yashasvi Jaiswal made a fairytale debut, scoring a big daddy hundred and earning the Player of the Match award. The Mumbaikar scored a patient 171 off 387 balls in the opening Test vs West Indies at Windsor Park, Roseau. The knock made him India’s 17th centurion on Test debut. His record 229-run partnership — the highest opening stand for India outside Asia — with then skipper Rohit Sharma powered the visitors to a massive innings-and-141-run victory.

On challenging spin-friendly conditions in Visakhapatnam, where the other India batters failed to go beyond 34 in the first innings, Jaiswal stood firm, scoring his second century and a maiden double ton — 209 off 290 balls — to help India post 396 in the second Test against England. His 423-minute marathon knock, laced with 19 fours and seven sixes, guided the hosts to a 106-run victory to level the five-match series 1-1.

India won by a massive 434 runs.
161 vs Australia (Perth, 2024)
This was not just Jaiswal’s fourth Test ton, but also his fourth 150-plus score in Tests. He made amends for a first-innings duck by scoring a match-winning 161 to give India the upper hand in the opening Test of the series last November. His 201-run opening stand with KL Rahul helped India set a huge 534-run target.
