Keep fighting, India," Sachin Tendulkar wrote on social media platform X.

Take a bow Yashasvi Jaiswal!"Former all-rounder Irfan Pathan expressed his admiration for Jaiswal on X: "Yashasvi Jaiswal, the most talented left-hander going around in test cricket at the moment.

High pressure."

He started this series with a hundred and is finishing it with another - and it may be a hundred that takes India into a winning position. Jaiswal was dropped twice and is not a player you want to give chances to. He is one of the best young players in the world and scored a century that almost elicited a smile from India's coach.

Smile, Gambhir, come on!"Jaiswal's innings ended at 118 runs from 164 balls when he attempted an upper cut shot, a technique he had successfully used throughout his second innings. The shot was well-timed but found Jamie Overton at third man, bringing his impressive performance to a close.India's head coach Gautam Gambhir was seen standing and applauding Jaiswal's performance, acknowledging the young player's achievement.
