"Outstanding 100 by Yashasvi on a sporting pitch that tested courage and concentration. Full marks to Akashdeep too, batting with heart and determination under pressure.
Keep fighting, India," Sachin Tendulkar wrote on social media platform X.
Former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar highlighted Jaiswal's consistent performance, stating, "160 & couple of quality 80s in Australia in BGT, only batter who carried his form in that series.

Former all-rounder Irfan Pathan expressed his admiration for Jaiswal on X: "Yashasvi Jaiswal, the most talented left-hander going around in test cricket at the moment.

Yashasvi Jaiswal press conference: Message from Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli help, support from Gambhir
Former England cricketer Michael Atherton praised Jaiswal's performance while commenting for Sky Sports: "Jaiswal is an outstanding young player. He started this series with a hundred and is finishing it with another - and it may be a hundred that takes India into a winning position. Jaiswal was dropped twice and is not a player you want to give chances to. He is one of the best young players in the world and scored a century that almost elicited a smile from India's coach.
Smile, Gambhir, come on!"
Jaiswal's innings ended at 118 runs from 164 balls when he attempted an upper cut shot, a technique he had successfully used throughout his second innings. The shot was well-timed but found Jamie Overton at third man, bringing his impressive performance to a close.
India's head coach
Gautam Gambhir
was seen standing and applauding Jaiswal's performance, acknowledging the young player's achievement.

McGrath predicts 5-0 win for Australia in Ashes
London, Aug 7 (UNI) Glenn McGrath predicts England will be whitewashed in the 2025-26 Ashes, backing Australia to win the series 5-0. The former Australia bowler, a six-time Ashes winner, always makes this prediction and did so before the 2023 series, which ended in a 2-2 draw, with the tourists retaining the urn. England have not won an Ashes series since 2015, drawing two and losing two, and have not won a series - or indeed a Test - in Australia since 2010-11. "It's very rare for me to make a prediction, isn't it? And I can't make a different one - 5-0," McGrath told BBC Radio 5 Live. "I'm very confident with our team. When you've got Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon firing in their home conditions, it's going to be pretty tough. "Plus, that track record England have had, it'd be interesting to see if they can win a Test." UNI BM

Amy Askren opens up about harsh fitness ad she saw while Ben Askren battled for survival (Image Via Google) Ben Askren's name hit headlines again, this time for an ad that felt harsh and out of place. While Ben Askren fought for his life after a staph infection turned into deadly pneumonia, his wife Amy was bombarded by a fitness ad on Instagram saying, 'You are just soft.' Mark Zuckerberg's platform, worth over $100 billion, came under criticism. Amy, who was at her husband's side in the hospital, found this ad deeply hurtful. At a time when the Askren family needed care, rather than critique, this moment sparked a strong reaction. Amy Askren breaks silence on painful ad shown while Ben Askren was in ICU Amy Askren, wife of former MMA star Ben Askren, posted on Instagram Story that the ad 'plague me on Instagram,' asking, 'I think they know I sit in a hospital room all day. Has anyone tried this program!?' The ad, by fitness coach Vanja of MoveMethod (with over 1.4 million followers), showed a person lifting a kettlebell with knees straight and back arched, captioned 'You are just soft.' While the message itself may not be wrong, the timing, amid Amy's long hospital visits during Ben's fight to survive, felt deeply insensitive.
