A landmark 2025 year for the Indian southpaw Jaiswal
The year 2025 has been a defining period for Jaiswal, during which he officially joined the elite list of Indian batters to score centuries across all three international formats. He reached this milestone on December 6, 2025, in Visakhapatnam, where he struck a patient yet commanding maiden ODI century of 116 off 121 balls* against South Africa. This performance not only helped India clinch the series 2–1 but also saw him join legendary names like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli as one of only six Indians to achieve the triple-format ton feat.
Beyond the international arena, Jaiswal’s 2025 season has been marked by record-breaking domestic displays and significant Test milestones. In July 2025, he dominated the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against England, amassing over 700 runs in the series, including notable centuries at Leeds and The Oval. More recently, in December 2024, he lit up the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for Mumbai by smashing a blistering 48-ball century against Haryana, facilitating a record successful chase of 235. Despite a recent bout of acute gastroenteritis that briefly sidelined him, his stats for 2025, including three Test tons and his maiden ODI century, confirm his status as a cornerstone of India’s future batting lineup.
