India’s batting display in the ongoing 1st Test against England at Headingley has etched its name into the record books, as four Indian batters—Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant—have scored centuries in the same away Test match. This marks only the second time in India’s Test history that four players have reached the three-figure mark in a single away Test.
The only previous instance dates back to May 2007, when India played Bangladesh in Mirpur. During that match, centuries were scored by Dinesh Karthik, Wasim Jaffer, Rahul Dravid, and Sachin Tendulkar in a dominant batting display.
In the current Test at Leeds, India posted a first-innings total of 471, with centuries from Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal setting the tone. KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant followed up with brilliant tons in the second innings, helping India build a commanding lead over England.
The feat reflects the strength and depth of India’s batting lineup in overseas conditions. With overcast skies and unpredictable weather ahead, this historic performance has placed India in a strong position to push for victory in the series opener.
