With four 150-plus scores, which are also all of his four international centuries, Jaiswal has joined Sachin Tendulkar, Pakistan's Javed Miandad and South Africa's Graeme Smith for second-most 150-plus scores before turning 23. Australian legend Don Bradman had most 150-plus scores in Tests before turning 23 (8).

Jaiswal also became the third Indian cricketer to slam a century on his maiden tour to Australia at the Optus Stadium in the opening Test of the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 on Sunday.
The other two batters to achieve this landmark are ML Jaisimha who did it in the 1967-68 tour and the other player is legendary Sunil Gavaskar did it in the 1977-78 tour.
The southpaw also registered the record of scoring the most Test 100s in a calendar year before turning 23 for India. He will celebrate his birthday on December 28. The batter currently has three hundred so far with three matches still to go in 2024.
The players above Jaiswal in this list are Sunil Gavaskar in 1971 (4), Vinod Kambli in 1993 (4), Ravi Shastri in 1984 (3), and Sachin Tendulkar in 1992 (3). The last Indian opener to score a Test hundred in Australia was KL Rahul (110) at Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) in 2014-15.

Josh Hazlewood (4/29) was the pick of the bowlers for Australia, with skipper Pat Cummins, Mitchell Marsh and Mitchell Starc getting two wickets each.
Australia's reply was even worse and they were reduced to 79/9 at one point. However, Mitchell Starc (26) and Alex Carey (21) took Aussies to 104 runs, giving India a lead of 46 runs.
