IND vs ENG: After 19 Years, Team India Registers Landmark Record
Centuries from ashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Rishabh Pant not only gave India a strong platform but also helped replicate a rare feat in Indian cricket history.
Team India has kicked off their England tour in emphatic fashion. In the opening Test at Headingley, three Indian batters — Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Rishabh Pant — scored centuries in the first innings, marking a historic moment for Indian Test cricket.
Triple Delight for India at Leeds
It was a batting exhibition from the visitors. Yashasvi Jaiswal led the charge with a stylish hundred, followed by a captain’s knock from Shubman Gill, who struck a fluent 147. Rishabh Pant, continuing his stellar form, hammered a quickfire 134 to put India in complete control.
Their centuries not only gave India a strong platform but also helped replicate a rare feat in Indian cricket history.
A Historic Feat After 19 Years
This marks only the fourth time in Test history that three Indian players have scored centuries in the same innings, and the first time since 2006. It’s also just the second occasion in England where Indian batters have achieved this remarkable milestone.
Previous Instances of the Triple-Ton Feat:
1986 vs Australia, Sydney – Sunil Gavaskar, Kris Srikkanth, Mohinder Amarnath
2002 vs England, Headingley – Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly
2006 vs West Indies, Gros Islet – Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid, Mohammad Kaif
2025 vs England, Headingley – Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant
This incredible achievement highlights the depth and class of India’s current batting lineup — capable of matching and even surpassing the feats of past legends.
