Two weeks ago, on February 9, India's Yashasvi Jaiswal missed out on his 100 by just 12 runs in the ICC U-19 World Cup final against Bangladesh at Potchefstroom in South Africa. On Sunday, he went well beyond that special three-figure mark, scoring 185 (19x4, 1x6) for Mumbai U-23 against Puducherry on Day Two of their CK Nayudu Trophy quarter-final at the Wankhede Stadium.

Resuming on 112-1, the hosts posted 449-5 in reply to Puducherry's 209. Jaiswal, who was unbeaten with 42 on Saturday, reached his 100 off 127 balls, just before lunch. Though the 243-minute knock was full of his favourite on-drives and cover drives, Jaiswal also ensured he respected the good balls and defending them sturdily en route a 207-run third-wicket stand with skipper Hardik Tamore (86, 9x4, 1x6).
