Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant join the legends with a triple tone historical feat outside Asia
On the other hand, the rich heritage from India from brilliance to stick abroad added a new chapter to Headingley on Saturday. In a remarkable demonstration, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant all broke centuries in the same sleeves against England, which only marked the fourth instance when three Indian strikers did it outside Asia in the test cricket.
This rare feat was achieved for the first time in 1986, when Sunil Gavaskar, Kris Srikkanth and Mohinder Amarnath hammered hundreds against Australia in Sydney. And then the emblematic trio of Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and Surav Ganguly did the same in Headingley in 2002.
In 2006, Virender Sehwag, Dravid and Mohammad Kaif repeated the feat in the Antilles of Gros Islet. Now, in 2025, the young cannons of India Jaiswal, Gill and Pant joined the Elite Club.
