What made the occasion more special was Jaiswal reaching his hundred by hitting a massive six off Tom Hartley's bowling. Jaiswal's attacking approach, right from the start of his innings, showcased his intent to dominate the visiting side.

He reached his century during the second session of Day 1's play. Jaiswal's gritty innings helped India cross the 200-run mark. At Tea break on Day 1 of IND vs ENG 2nd Test in Vizag, India were 225/3 after 63 overs.
