Jaiswal Roars Back To Form With Century; Helps India A Draw Against New Zealand A

Yashasvi Jaiswal delivered a commanding comeback with an unbeaten century of 155 runs off 162 balls, anchoring India A’s recovery in the rain-disrupted second unofficial Test against New Zealand A in Christchurch. His aggressive innings—featuring 15 boundaries and five sixes—helped India A erase a 78-run first-innings deficit after early wickets to Sai Sudharsan (caught for 11) and Devdutt Padikkal (bowled first-ball for a duck).

The team declared at 282 for 2, with Yash Rathod also reaching 100, before both sides agreed to a draw on the fourth day amid heavy rain delays. Jaiswal’s resurgence came after a recent slump, including scores of 17, 5, and a duck in the prior matches, while New Zealand A’s bowling attack was weakened by injuries to key players Fraser Sheat and Jayden Lennox.
