[WATCH] ENG vs IND 5th Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal's heartwarming celebration after smashing century at The Oval

Yashasvi Jaiswal jumped in joy in the air as soon as he completed his Test century when the series was on the line. For many years, Jaiswal's century will remain alive in the memories of Indian cricket fans.

The young opener anchored on one side of The Oval pitch when wickets were tumbling on the other end. KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, captain Shubman Gill, and Karun Nair all threw their priceless wickets cheaply against England bowlers. But Jaiswal remained strong as a wall, accompanied by the night watchman Akash Deep.

Apart from Jaiswal and Akash Deep, India's top and middle order batting lineup in the second innings of the 5th Test produced nothing too special. The 23-year-old batter knew how precise and well-timed his century was. It is a do-or-die situation for Team India: a draw or a loss will cost them the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy. It became a prestige fight for the Men in Blue Brigade after a draw at Old Trafford.

Before losing his wicket to Josh Tounge, the southpaw secured 118 off 164 with fourteen 4s and a couple of huge 6s. At this ease, on a green surface, under pressure, it was absolutely not a suitable situation any batter in the world would wish to come and bat. When he jumped into the air and swung his feet with a shining smile, it defined how much gratification Jaiswal felt at that moment.

It was the second hundred of the tour. In the first match of the series at Leeds, the Uttar Pradesh native played a 101-run innings in the first innings. He came close to smashing another hundred but went short by only 13 runs. That inning came during the second match of the tour, which was in Birmingham.
